Saw someone new in my area. I sent his message: "Welcome to CC. Hope you find it a welcoming place." I was blocked. Did I say something offensive?
Yup.
You were polite.
'round there thems fightin' words!
(no, you did nothing wrong)
This might be borderline sexual harassment to some people in 2019
He's intimidated!! Yeah, that's it. Ya big teddy bear ya. I send those out to people all the time. Can't imagine why he'd block you.
How rude.
Sorry, meant "I sent THIS message...." I didn't see a way to edit.
@PaulaDahla I've sent others like this, and have been blocked. I'm not sure why. It's can't be for harassment, as it's only one innocuous message.
You sent a friendly greeting. No offense given, but taken? Who even knows.
Some people just have sticks up their arses, @BigHugsCA . Can't say you don't have a right to be bothered by it, but honestly, what's the point of speculating? Agreeing with @chococuddles and @PaulaDahla. People could have a totally valid reason for acting that way (disorder of some sort which makes the person mentally sensitive to others/strangers reaching out?) or not ("Somebody is politely welcoming me to an online community? How bleeding dare they! Take that, creepo!"). It's not your place to pick some rando's brain apart...you're doing fine.
Been here < 24 hrs. Had to block three members. Out of 8
Only 3 out of 8 blocked? I'd be exhausted if I didn't just ignore people that sucked.
@BigHugsCA Did they visit your page before blocking you?
My first tome being blocked i was shocked. I said hello, and we exchanged pleasantries only to discover i was blocked a few days later. I reached out to the admins because i didn’t think i did anything wrong and wanted to make sure. Next Time i checked that lady was banned. Not sure why, but it was early in my time on here.
I mostly seem to get blocked by other guys just because I visit their profile. I usually do that when they are friends with a woman whose profile I am looking at. If I blocked every guy that visited my profile, I'd have to block hundreds.
Maybe he didnt want a mans attention
@PeopleLikeUs it doesn't appear so
@Navyman1010 it wasn't a man
Blocking is a bonus to you and the blocker. It fine tunes and customizes the site. When someone blocks you, the why of it doesn't matter... just like when you block someone you don't owe them an explanation. It gets the no's out of the way.
@PeopleLikeUs I haven't blocked any one here at CC. Perhaps I should start.
Sometimes folks have strange reasons to block. Found out that a pro blocked me -- I never interacted with her lol
Not too long ago i was blocked by someone who i had formed a pretty good friemdship with and had actually hung out with a few times. No warning and not really an explanation either. To this day she is the only person i have blocked, and that was only because seeing her on the local cuddlers page was a little hard, since we had been friends and now we werent . However if a stranger blocks me.for seemingly no reason i dont care, just shrug and move forward with life. Thats the interweb for ya what else can you expect...
I read the title of this thread and thought we were having a discussion on bowel obstruction.
@pmvines you have 90 friends, most of them women. How do you even know that she blocked you? Do you do regular checks of all 90 friends?
I haven't been blocked by anyone yet except maybe a local pro but I wouldn't know because if I don't want to cuddle her I don't keep going back to her page. But every pro in my area still shows up when I do the local search and even the non pro's since I keep it within a small distance because I don't use age as a filter. The only one's at this point I wouldn't know are the faceless ones that look just like me. Hope I never get a friend request from you, it's more than a little bit creepy that you would KNOW she blocked you only by viewing the local cuddlers page. At least I'm choosing to believe that's how you knew you were blocked. If it's because you are doing regular checks of all 90 I'd say you need to find a better hobby.
@bsweet I think pm made it obvious that he knew this particular person very well. I have friends listed that I may never talk to again and others I chat with frequently. I am sure this is the case.
Point made. But didn't disprove my point did you, how the heavens did he even know with that amount of friends?? You don't have nearly as many so it's easier to keep track of. In fact I looked at a few of his friends and I see they are still scrolling along the top. But after this post I'll probably be blocked by HIM for pointing out a creepy habit he may have. Heaven forbid I should do it again.
Can't wait to see his wordy know-it-all, good ol' boy response to that one. Just stating a fact. Let's see if he can explain it in less than a hundred words.
He has been on this site longer than I have so he should have more friends. In my career I know 2000 plus people but some I know much better than others. Also, Pm is one of the more thoughtful people in the forums and I have never viewed him as a know-it-all or thought he was overly verbose.
@bSweet if you go to message someone and they have blocked you, it pops up with a message stating the user has blocked you from messaging them. That is how one knows they are blocked.
@BSweet - how do you know you haven't been blocked by anyone? As far as I know, there is no list of people who have blocked you. You only find out when you try to visit their profile or send them a message.
@bsweet you just joined the site and are already going after me. Did i piss in your wheaties from a former account you had? Or are you perhaps a current user with a duplicate troll account? You seem to have quite the chip on your shoulder with agenda to match for being such a new user to the site....
And to answer your assertion, no, i will not block you. You dont have to have a good opinion of me and either way what you think of me is completely meaningless. I owe you nothing. Find another person to troll who actually cares about what you have to say?
@pmvines this is now the second time you've alluded to me being someone else. Care to tell me who you think I am or just trying to make yourself sound know it all again?
Because I have an opinion that doesn't match yours means I'm an old member who was blocked?? Maybe someone has been watching too many conspiracy theory shows.
Being new means AGAIN that every post here is marked as new. Which means every post starts at the beginning and not the most current post. Because of the oddity I've seen your progression from a kinda normal nice guy to being a bully with that scarlett chick to now just an ass. Grow up and remember this is a cuddling site and not a high school cafeteria where you held court playing D&D with fellow nerds.
These forums are pretty brutal. Not at all accepting, kind, or encouraging. Take a look back before you accuse.
@bSweet I think the accepting part you pointed out in your last sentence goes both ways. And PM is not alone in wondering why you singled him out. Of all the people in these forums he is the last one that appears to be anything what you painted him to be. He was not saying you are an old poster under a new name; rather he was wondering if this was a possibility considering your spite against him came out of left field.
Methinks another thread is about to be closed.
