I think in the 10 years I've been on MM, I've blocked maybe 5 people. Today someone contacted me in a need to make disparaging remarks about race. I happily blocked this person.

I don't think I've ever blocked someone on here, it's really easy to ignore on MM than say Facebook, where I have to block basically everyone.

I've blocked one person in 9 years. I don't even remember who it was, but I do remember the reason.

I had only blocked about one person in 10 years until recently (my first account was opened in 2005).  I have blocked about 30 people in the last few months. 

Most of them were foreign retouchers.  Someone in the forums suggested blocking them to prevent multiple friend requests.  After turning down their friend requests, the requests would often show up again and again weeks later.

About a quarter of those recently blocked, were blocked after I observed them posting like 5 year olds, attacking OPs and others in in the forums, calling people names and being more than simply rude.  I don't expect them to try to contact me or send me a friend request.  They will never know I blocked them.  It has become my way of keeping track of people without manners.

I'm at 5 retouchers and counting - after putting a line in my bio asking no drive by FR's and saying I would do that.

Life can be tough sometimes, but everyone is free to set and hold the appropriate boundaries which suit them best.

OK, I unblocked the person I blocked because I think it is kinda stupid and childish to cut off dialog between parties. In all the years I have been on MM I never thought to block someone I see it as counter productive.

I live my life by staying positive and also by removing overly caustic people out of my life.

We are getting serious therefore we are in violation of MM rules. Time to go back to the OP's post.

Why would that person assume that it's okay to talk with you in a racial discriminatory way?

I don't get people sometimes!  hmm
