“BLOCK” Function?


  I’ve tried a search here for such a function,and I’ve come up empty. Is there a way to block certain members? Not just from personal messages,but so they don’t show up in any topic I’m reading. Sometimes it’s nice to ask a question and learn something without someone trying to rub your nose in your lack of knowledge like a dog that did his business in the house.  I am all for learning from others. That’s one of the reasons I frequent this site. However,there are some folks here that do have vast knowledge, but are as abrasive as 40 grit sandpaper. For those folks I’m ready to throw the baby out with the bath water.

Just for the record,I was never bullied. However,I see it every day. I just thought how nice it would be to not have to read insults. We’re supposed to be adults. From what I’ve seen,some are,and pretend. That’s why I’m going go my merry way, and read only what I choose,and skim my way by the rest.
@rocray
Sounds good to me. Seems you've learned how to skim (process) what you need to get from this blog with a tougher skin than you give yourself credit for. 
@surfmuz,

That works too! The first time someone responded to a post of mine here by calling it BS!? I have completely ignored that POSER ever since and I actually got a kick out of that poser trying to have an intelligent conversation with me in other threads! ;)
“BLOCK” Function?
@rocray,

You almost got it right. But don’t just block, do what your Pop’s, Mom, Grands or big brother and sister taught you. When the bully hits you - you hit the bully in the nose. Don’t take their crap - at all.

There are quite a few here who use this blog kinda like liquor. They know they can hide behind the internet and say what they want cause it gives them courage when they know darn well they would not say those things to you in person.

So you hang in there. There is a lot to learn here from some fantastic posters who are willing and able to teach in a respectful courteous manner.

Besides, if someone here has tried you - and you still are here? Sounds like to me you already know what to do. That’s part of the learning process here - just like everything else in life.

Sometimes the really hard part is letting or should I say leading the jerk to actually let them know it's ok to just be cool and not be such an ass. But that's only if they have the capacity to listen.

So don't be afraid to speak your mind and ask your questions. There really are some great folks here.
