Why would you block someone?

Question

I am asking this coz i was just blocked by someone who just gave me a best answer? I don't know why i was given the best answer if he doesn't appreciate my opinion and feels i have offended him so much to the extend that he would block me? I have tried to be a good friend and sister to all of you here on Egypt section and i apologize if i had offended anyone. Peace.

So Why would you block someone?

.
@ver-gen: i really hope so, coz i try to be a good friend to everybody here.


BTW i posted this q a few min. ago and received a violation notice, but i cant care less abt the points i lost, all i do care abt is not being misunderstood or mistreated by my friends.

.
@Luv rulz: I did not block this person, as a matter of fact he was one of the first people on my contact list. Yalla mesh mohem.

.
.
@ Ismaily Rules: Youssef you have every right to whatever you feel, it is yr opinion, wenta 7orr, but still i would have preferred if you could have contacted me and said yr opinion, before finally blocking me, that is if you cared abt yr family, which i had assumed i was one of them.

Thks for answering, my msg was delivered and yrs was received LOUD and CLEAR. Peace.

.

ENOUGH, this has gone on far too long. Youssef the only reason i posted this q here and in public was coz i couldn't reach you in any other means to clear any misunderstanding, however i was careful enough not to mention yr name, or shame you in any means. However, what you did, was totally wrong, judging people and their actions and deeds is not your job or any body else's "as humans we are full of faults".

SO now that it is clear why you made this decision, all i can say, is good for you!!!!

One last thing, in life try to look at people's good traits and ignore their bad ones. If you really care then try to change them but in a more decent approach.

Thank you everybody and i apologize for dragging all of you into this.

Salam

Answer 1

@ Ismaily: I was not going to say anything about this at all because I promised you that you would never hear from me again. However, since you are the one to bring it out in the open I have to speak. If you remember, you used to be someone whom I regarded as a friend, even after you blocked me too without explaining why. The last message you received from me simply stated please leave a certain someone alone because you are supposed to be older. I was refering to the argument you had with that person while I was with them at the same time on messenger. I meant nothing else with my message but to say that I hate seeing my friends fight and I assumed you were older and wiser so you would let any assumed mistake by that other person pass. I found myself blocked after that for reasons I know nothing about. Nevertheless, I never insulted you or blocked you back. When I sensed from your posts that you were troubled I sent you yet another message offering to do anything I can if you would accept it only to be answered by a very bitter and sarcastic message insulting me for my offer to help. I still didn't insult you, but just wished you the best and promised you will never hear from me again. However, to have you post this in public and insult me and my friends is unacceptable. You post what you want and let others be the judge of what is appropriate for them to post. Nobody forced you to answer or read anything. And to be honest I have to say it is you who have made me hate caring and empathizing to the point where I have made a fool of myself and gotten myself insulted for attempting to reach out to someone who apparently sees me as nothing but a .. I can't even say the words. I don't want to be rude, insulting or hurt anyone, but you really have no idea how much it hurt to recieve your message and how much it still hurts to see this happening now. I used to regard you as a friend and even after all that happened I still thought that maybe it's because you just were going through some difficult times. Now I feel like an idiot for ever thinking you really cared at all or valued what you called a friendship. You are free to block whomever you wish ... go ahead and block me too. You are free to hate me as much as you wish. You are free to preach as much as you wish. But you are not free to insult others in a public forum. Anything you wanted to say could have been conveyed in a private message. I require no explanation from you for your behaviour, but I just wanted you to know that you have no idea what you have just lost. This person whom you have just insulted in public used to really care about you and pray for you. She has a heart of gold and is the most angelic person I have ever seen. God knows that her heart of gold will still probably pray for you. I have to say I stopped doing that the moment you insulted me in your message. I'm not as angelic as she is. Now I'd like to thank you very much for stabbing me and my best friend in the back and for making me cry and feel like ****. Thank you very much for everything, you are a true gentleman. And I have to say one last thing. I can take being stabbed. Hope is far more sensitive. If anything happens to her because of what you just posted it's on you. I will never forgive you.

@ hope: Whatever anybody says about you, you are who you are. You need no testimony from others. Your worth stems from within you not from what others say about you. Your true friends know your true worth. Don't let anything anybody says ever affect you or take away a thing from your self image and esteem. I swear to lose you would be to lose a lifeline for me so don't you dare even think of quitting or leaving here. This is a public forum and belongs to nobody. You are a great asset to us here and a vital member of our family. Nothing would be complete without you. If you leave I'm out of here too.

@ Eman G Thanks a lot for everything. You are a true friend.

Answer 2

I really can't understand anyone who would want to block you my sweet sister. You never have a bad word to say about anyone and are always there for those who know you or need you.
Perhaps there has been a mistake and it was done inadvertently,I don't know, but whoever it was is the loser.
I know that I need you in my life, so there is no way I could block you.
For it would be like putting shutters on all my windows to stop the sunlight coming in.
I am always in awe of your genuine caring and supportive manner and feel that you are no longer just part of the Yahoo Q&A Egyptian family but part of my own.

Addit: Ismaily I cannot believe that you are so petty and small minded. What has happened to in the past few months,I used to think of you as my brother.
Then for some reason reason known only to yourself you decided to stop contacting me.
I see your manner has changed so much by the answers you give and I read an IM transcript of an argument that you had with another former user that seemed as if it came from the mind of someone other than the person I thought that I knew.
I know that person has their own problems to deal with as well and they are doing so innashAllah.
If you have problems then deal with them but don't sit there in judgment of others for you are certainly in no position to do so nor do you have the right.
Farah: Sister you alway come up with just the right youtube clip at the right time.It is very apt and so very true!

Answer 3

Is it possible that you were blocked on accident? I don't know because I have never done it. I would think if he gave you best answer, maybe he was trying to add you as a contact and accidentally blocked you instead.

EDIT: Block user is right next to add user and it is possible that he blocked you on accident.

EDIT: Violation notice? It wasn't for this question was it? Or was it from being blocked earlier? I guess I don't understand how this works. (at least not that part of it anyway) I am sure it had to be an accident.

EDIT: she should have come to you in private and at least given you the option to delete the question if it offended. She also could have just not answered your questions. I am sorry that it had to be brought out like this. I hope the two of you can reconcile your differences. Blessings.

Answer 4

Who knows? Yahoo's system is rather "difficult" for some people to understand. May have been a mistake. I've never blocked anyone and don't intend to. Half the fun of being here is seeing the opinions of others. Even if I disagree with them. If i disagree with someone, or if I think they need a "spanking" for what they said, I contact them (if possible) and tell them directly. If I cannot contact them, I sometimes rate them a thumbs down, but that seems a bit childish since they have no way of knowing WHY I did it. I like confrontation. Anyone want to fight? LOL.

Answer 5

Maybe the blocker is insensitive to the feelings of others.In case he was offended by some of the content of your answer, he could have very well argued about his point.While he displays his feelings, by blocking you, on the contrary he remains oblivious of your feelings.My suggestion would be " good riddance" for you.Why are you sorry,rather you should be happy that you have walked out scot free.Cause I know such people can cause you more mental agony.Secondly,in this forum it pays to be frank and truthful.There is no meaning if you do not come up with the truth for fear of offending someone.I agree that we can be truthful also by not hurting someone else's feelings.From the content of your question I can bet,you are the last person who can offend someone.In case you still feel neglected,why not be my contact.

Answer 7

first, sorry for not replying to this q earlier than this, I was kind of busy.

2nd, u guys are making such a very big deal out of the whole thing and things seem to be getting totally out of hand. We all need to keep calm and take things the easy way.


Now I have to defend my girl, my friend, my angel. A lot of u guys do not know Hope well enough. She is the sweetest, most caring, sensitive, and amazing person I have ever know. I love her and respect her with all my heart and have a lot of good feelings for her that she might not even know about.
ur making a big deal because of some jokes she posted that u thought were not acceptable. well guess what, I loved the joke, and I loved this particular horse joke u guys are against. dont u have a sense of humor??? and u know what too, I love dirty jokes too! ok u guys go ahead and thumb me down and act as if ur so decent and innocent and dont like such jokes, but no matter what u say, I know u do so don't put on a musk in front of us and take it offand enjoy ur naughty little pleasures when we're not around. I'm not referring to anyone in particular so I don't want ppl replying saying oh why r u saying this abt me, u dont know me and blah blah blah! I'm talking abt ppl in general!!!
if u didn't like a joke, don't reply.. don't star it. It's not like the joke was posted for a particular person. It is posted for anyone who has a nice sense of humor and can take a laugh.

@ Ismaily- u and I have been kind of good friends so I can't say anything against u. ur a nice person and have a wonderful sense of humor and u always make me laugh. but sometimes u do act weird, but I know this is just u. U have not seen anything bad from Hope. So big deal, she posted that joke and u didnt like it, do u think that's a good enough reason to block such a great person like her! u do not know what ur missing. so u didnt like it, just ignore it. ur complaining abt how ppl look up to her and farah and how they can be bad role models this way. please give me a break. r our young youth sitting in front of their pc waiting for a joke like this to corrupt them and their minds and ignoring everything else happening and taking place in our society! also, look at all u said in ur answer to this q. ur calling urself names and ur talking in an imporper language.
Don't u think younger members can copy u and talk this way to thier parents, family, or friends? which do u think is worse? Hope's joke or ur speech!
ppl, please give everyone a break and do not always make such big deals out of nothing we ti3milo men el7aba obba. wala i7na dayman keda benigi 3al hayfa we nitsadar!!!

Hope 7abibty roo7 alby. I know ur a very sensitive person and a small word can do wonders for u. Please dont be upset, we all love uuuuuuuuuuuuu
and always remember "elli 7abina 7abinah we sar mata3na mata3o welli kerihna kirihnah ye7ram 3alina igtma3o"

edit:
@ shalfat- thanks for the thumb down brother lol. as I mentioned, I was not talking abt some1 or a certain group of ppl in particular, r u sure u read what i said :)

Answer 8

@Ismaily Rules:
Man, I don't know you and I am glad to keep it that way.
For sometime, I thought that you are a decent and respectful person for you decline the profane in others answers but here you are, using them a lot talking to a fine lady.
Man, I am disappointed in you. This is not a way to talk to a lady who has been respected and cherished by most of Egypt section members for she never really upset any one.
The least you could do now is to post a public apology to rectify your mistake.

Answer 9

Usually if I find they are writing things that are racist, like to make personal attacks upon me and others, or they are just gross (having an inappropriate avatar that can be pornographic in nature). Others I have blocked simply because they blocked me.

Good Luck!!!

Answer 10

Hope you are very respected and very loved and everyone knows this in the section, you are a great and supportive person to many people in this section, your answers and questions are always sensitive and predictable to be heartfelt and honest. Your a lovely person and much cherished xxxxx

Answer 11

I block people cz I can looool
yalla ba2a edony best answers looool

Edit : I don't know if you are going to read this ismaily or not , you said before that you don't like people to blame you for what you did , and I didn't comment on that cz I thought that you are polite not to give those people piece of your mind [ I usually do and screw them all ] but now I'm surprised of your position , you are being uptight and trying to tell people what to do and this is not right and you knew it , if you don't like the question don't reply or star , if you want to make a point send it in e-mail , if you want to block someone of the family have the courtesy to tell him/her why before you do it , and there was no need for all that dramatic reaction you posted her . don't be judgmental , and respect others wills if you want to appreciated .

LOOOL @ ruby I'm not decent at all , and I enjoy it , people if you don't like it , don't looool .
