Lately I have been trying to tell manplainers and sea lions what they're doing before blocking them, to give them a shot at apologizing. But it almost always results in angry dudes saying obnoxious things, not apologizing, and that doesn't make anyone feel better.

This is just a reminder to myself to block more people.

@sundogplanets personally i find that even the nicest people find it hard to admit they were in the wrong and apologise; we all have so much emotional capital invested in being right these days.

so, yes: block early, block often.

@fishidwardrobe @sundogplanets So by that logic you're going to block "even the nicest people" early and often.

Personally, somebody has to be actively harassing me to get blocked.
