I try to give the most grace possible. I’ve only ever blocked two users here. That said, I’d totally understand why someone might block me.

Sometimes I get into the weeds a bit arguing with someone over trivial shit, and my brain just can’t handle not getting the last word in. Blocking helps with that. It’s petty, sure, but it lets me move on and get back to my day rather than angrily typing out dumb responses that I would no doubt regret later.
I try to do it sparingly. I never want to be the one hardheaded guy everyone knows that will never admit defeat under any circumstances, so getting taken down a peg or two from time to time is probably healthy for me. Keeps me grounded in reality rather than huffing my own farts and calling it perfume.
I think I’ve had to ban more people from the community I moderate than people I’ve had to block for being assholes/trolls.
