What does it take for you to block someone on RallyPoint?

I have been thinking about this lately, as two members earned this from me. I am open minded guy, and thrive on good debate, but I have noticed some seem to be losing their ever-loving mind. For God's sake people, it is a discussion, not a duel. You aren't going to convince very many to change their minds, especially if you're out there in your opinions.
Point and counterpoint.
Be respectful.
Maybe we could learn something from each other.
But if you come on here to troll, you came to the wrong place.
What say you?

I follow the RP rules. I down vote twice. If the attacks continue, I block them. No sense in getting all pissed off and resorting to the low level of the person attacking you. It is great knowing I don't ever have to hear from this person again. With my PTSD, I can easily lose it, but I tried it the RP way and it works.

I would use a recent example. A couple of misunderstandings from a good person nearly resulted in a block. Subsequent posts and discussions cleared it up. Take it easy is the answer most of the time.

It concerns me that this RallyPoint becomes a negative kind of format. That does not work and I hope to not participate in those kinds of exchanges.

CPT John M. O'Connor, Yes Sir, if you come into one of those flame wars, I wouldn't get caught up in it. There are plenty of nice people here in RP, that have good discussions. You don't don't have to put up with that. Just give it a chance and you will meet some really nice folks, who have your back. Like me! (-: After all, you don't want to be like those idiots running for POTUS. What a bunch of juvenile delinquents.

I've never posted anything I would say to a person's face. I admit I'm not politically correct, a little harsh in replies, but none I'd call a personal attack. I've never blocked anyone and probably never will, I can ignore comments( stick and stones may break my bones, but words have never hurt me). I guess I'm too old to take things on forums personally (as long as I got a cup of coffee sitting next to me). I think as long as we all understand this is a place to say what we think(with in reason), maintain our MILITARY BEARING things will do good. Yea, I've received a few down votes, but I found I didn't have to seek medical help, nor did I loose sleep over them. It's not that hard to just not reply!

http://www.roadswerenotbuiltforcars.com Goofy stars as a Jekyll and Hyde character, Mr. Walker/Mr. Wheeler. When he's a pedestrian he's mild-mannered and rat...
Additionally, I participate in all discussions on the Internet, not just here at RallyPoint, using my full "real" name (I say real because "Jack" is the only name most people know me by. My "legal name" is John Thomas Durish but I don't answer to that inasmuch as no one has ever called me that). I believe that anonymity allows people to say and do things that they would not say or do otherwise (as when driving)

1SG (Join to see) Good post. I'd have to go with SSG James J. Palmer IV aka "JP4" and go with E. Lol.
I have yet to block anyone..yet. There are some on the "short list", but just out of sheer curiosity and entertainment I haven't.
