Blocking Spree!!
Okay, I don't know if my thread title is clear enough, but I just wanna make a little complaint about people who block others on dA easily. Like really, what is the matter with them?
I have my fair share of creeps and nasty people who leave undesirable comments here and there on my works/profile. Would I block them? No! I want them to defend themselves and see what they wanna say. I am proud to say that I haven't blocked anyone ever on dA. But I know of a few people in my experience here who block anyone just about anything.
I know that everyone can do whatever you want, but when you block others over little issues, it just reflects on yourself more than the people you block.
TL;DR: Grow a backbone - it's okay to take hits once in a while without blocking people.

I dislike people who automatically call you a troll for saying negative things about them. "I have flaws? It cannot possibly be so! YOU must be a TROLL! I shall now block you, because I, the amazing me, dislike trolls!"
Heh. The nerves!
I can't believe i got blocked for praising an artist's work! it was some homestuck fan.
That's funny.
it sure is.. didn't even say a word to me,just pre-blocked after i complimented their work.
It happened to me once too.
I think blocking is permissible as long as you clearly need to get someone off your case who is being more than a handful, but pre-emptive blocking is extreme and kind of makes you look like a douche apparently there's a guy going around blocking everyone who comments on his thread then he states that they were the one's who blocked him...a very childish game
Sbkmulletman bawwlocked me for some stupid reason,but i don't care.
I usually only block failtrolls,but remove them after a while.

Hahaha I see.
I've never blocked anyone myself. Never had a reason to. If they're spammers I just report them and they are eventually banned so no biggie there. I was however blocked once before a while back on my old account. I don't remember the story exactly but it was during the whole SOPA thing and I made a joke about it. They told me off telling me how important it was to stop and it and yadda yadda. I told her to calm her tits it was only a joke. That must have made it worse because before I knew it I was blocked. Silly billy.
Hahaha, that's just hilarious. People can't take a joke.
Art thieves, attention whores and white knights tend to block me. Don't really care about them.
However, I do feel slightly annoyed when people block me, even if I have never even spoken to them. I'm like, what the fuck?
I've only blocked about ten people, and I had good reason to do so. It wasn't over something trivial, that's for sure.

Pre-emptive blocking is soooo childish.
I got BAWWWWWlocked by a ton of people. Mainly white knights and art thieves.
I hate those white knights! Urgh
what is a white night!?
Basically, a white knight is someone who stands up for trolls.
oh. i see.
Imagine this:
Artist: Look at my art! ^^
Troll: ur art sux
Artist: Go away, troll.
White knight: HES NOT A TROLL HES a GOOD ARTIST U SUCK HE ROCKS *blocks Artist*
Artist: Look at my art! ^^
Troll: ur art sux
Artist: Go away, troll.
White knight: HES NOT A TROLL HES a GOOD ARTIST U SUCK HE ROCKS *blocks Artist*
that is so stupid!
White Knight. Look at my last comment.
Are you an idiot?
