I tried this, and it really works!

Not just socks, but other trolls. Some trolls here I think operate multiple accounts and antagonize each other in a a bad drama. Block them all, the add nothing but frustration.

all of this blocking nonsense is how infantile children behave..

how many times do we hear preschool children say "i am not talking to her/him any more"!!!

it is the same old song and dance.

and then there is the "let me tell you how many groups of people that i hate"!!!

again, preschool.

That's one way to look at it, but when reading people like "socks" comments here and concluding they are being fully disingenuous why should I have my time wasted by that? If you think they are being genuine and saying what they really think, then it would make sense to read them. If you think everyone on the internet is genuine, then that already seems impossibly unrealistic. I maintain that blocking socks has been quite a benefit to my experience here, and I further maintain that I've missed out on nothing, no great insights, no good arguments, no consistency in ideas only consistency in partisanship.

But, I also think your example is weak. I don't think I've ever heard a preschool child say that. Most of us are here because Reddit said that to us. I would not call that preschool behavior. I see it as part of the way consent is manufactured, and the way bad ideas are protected from scrutiny. It's more about misuse of authority. What I'm doing is simply seeing those who truly waste my time, and I make the right choice.

If you block people, you will grant them the freedom to wage one sided arguments behind your back. This will be at your expense.

Keep throwing emojis at them, that really seems to aggravate everybody.
