I am so sick of this
8 years ago
Another guy that I follow and have shown nothing but support has blocked me both here and on InkBunny and like the previous two guys I have never been told why. Is it considered healthy behavior to block someone without even giving them a warning or at least telling them why. I want to improve my activity online but I have no way of doing so without any form of criticism.
If you have an issue with who I am then try sending me a note first. I am not a cyberbully and I hate being treated as such.

Sadly, the best way to avoid being blocked may be to not comment and attract attention.
Maybe that's why people don't comment anymore.
I can tell you from my own experience that being told why I was blocked did not bring any comfort.
Like I always say, furries have the thinnest skins.
Example: On the side I play this online game called OviPets (look it up, it's free). They wanted suggestions for unique new "breed-able pets." They already have deer, so I thought I'd throw something out there very different and unusual.... plants... breed-able plants... people use to have pet rocks, so why not? I'd own a pet sunflower. Some thought it was clever and interesting, majority of other's ripped the idea apart as if I insulted their mother. Those, I tell you, are the ones that take everything so close to heart, it can make you cringe. It was blasphemy to think anything but a beating-heart could be a pet in a make-believe game. I guess sometimes make-believe has to be their strict reality.... this is same for the fur community.
From observation on your profile, I'd say it could be that you have generally un-popular interests among the fur community (If that's what these people looked at). Majority seem to be claimed homosexual or bi, athiest, progressive/liberal. Anything but, they must not associate. Years ago, an artist I LOVED watching on here began a rant of politics. I didn't block her instead I engaged in conversation... in the end she called me some nasty names and blocked me because I didn't necessarily back her in her rampage... and these were some rants I tell you. So heated over soo little.
I avoid placing opinions and views in the public eye because you can only take so much back-lash and people hating you for no reason but that they are selfish. This is the same on facebook. I get sick of the debates with people I had once been close to, that I don't post anything that can be taken out-of-context. And those who had blocked me due to my past opinions/statements... meh good reddens.
