Is there a way to find out who blocked you on RP and why??

So, apparently I was blocked by someone and I was just curious more than anything else.

Are we back to giving these away for "foul" comments again? If so the hell with whoever's blocking you

I personally block people for three reasons.

1) The person uses the down vote as a means to express a difference of opinion.

2) The person is so zealous in either pushing religion or right-wing politics that I simply no longer want to interact with him or her.

3) The person uses foul language or spreads conspiracy theory as though it was truth.

I don't block for difference of opinion and have many people here with whom I enjoy spirited and polite discourse from opposing points of view. It is just those hard-core zealots who slant anything and everything (on both sides) with whom I have no desire to interact.

I'm wondering why contacts disappear from your list, and then show up later on?

I've ever only blocked one person on RP, however I made sure to tell them exactly why before I did so. The only reasons I can see to block someone would be if they were using the down-vote function inappropriately, or if they were harassing someone relentlessly. In both cases, an administrator should be contacted after the person is blocked.

Hey an anonymous civilian blocked me for trying to help her with a security issue, so...go figure. Other than her, I've only been blocked by extremists like Capt L S, etc.

If you espouse certain political values and call out an idiot's hypocrisy, they will block you. It's a badge of honor, really.

SSG James J. Palmer IV aka "JP4" MSG Private RallyPoint Member SN Greg Wright Cpl Private RallyPoint Member SSG Carlos Madden PO2 Ed C. SGT David A. 'Cowboy' Groth I just found out today that someone blocked me..Three days ago, I was communicating with this person.....I went through that conversation ad cannot figure out why I was blocked......though we mostly differ in opinion, I thought we were friends....My curiosity is killing me because I would like to know why this person blocked me. ....and it's killing me because I thought we were friends..... What would any of you do? Leave it alone...ignore it? Or write to this person and ask them? Please give me your opinion or let me know how you would react to this or handle it....
There is a person who posted in this post who blocked me...I have no idea why since I hardly ever communicated with them...though they have mentioned me by name, yet I am unable to reply...it's TERRIBLY Frustrating....
I think that if a person blocks you THEY SHOULD NOT BE ABLE TO MENTION you by name....they should not be able to "TAG" you and get your attention...and then you cannot reply...I think RALLY POINT should implement this along with blocking....a blocking member cannot in any way have any contact with the member they have blocked...NO TAGGING...
