The BLOCK Button
Generally I am a "no holds barred" guy.
But at Neopoet I have been asked by people I respect to not respond in the manner I find most amusing and effective.
To be clear, this manner gets people angry, quickly, and i supplement it by direct and personal observations and proclamations.
So, to remove myself from the temptation, I do know my own weaknesses after all, I use the BLOCK button.
Now, to be honest, I am all for PM's that cause your screen to blush but, apparently, this is not true of everyone. So when I get the random "you suck, i will crush you" whine in a PM, I block the person. They, no doubt, believe they have won a great victory, which makes my response to their first public posting bragging of their private action so wonderfully glorious for me.
