For The Awl, Choire Sicha talks about The Joys of Blocking People.
This story made the rounds of the blogosphere this week, with a lot of nodding and yes-ing and fist-pumping the thrill of the block. Maybe I'm showing my age, but blocking indiscriminately makes me more than a little uncomfortable. I don't think I've ever been blocked -- not that I know of. I have been unfriended/unfollowed enough times to spend the good part of an afternoon digging through my own posts wondering what I said that was so heinous (or boring) to be given the electronic equivalent of a good ol' shunning. The only person I've ever blocked myself was a friend of someone who considered herself my online nemesis, and a mom blogger who turned out to be a very vocal tea party supporter -- which is completely understandable.
