I think the new ignore features have helped some in these situations, blocking works too if you are being harassed by someone, it is kind of funny to see the word blocked above someones head in Home if you have done this actually, though others can’t see it you can. I have only blocked one person in my entire time in Home so far, so I take it very seriously.
I think a lot of what goes on in Home and elsewhere is frustrated kids, mostly male, who feel this is a place to take those feelings out without repercussions. That doesn’t make it right, but in some ways this place offers a safer environment for that kind of anger, better here than in the real world where physical harm can happen to others. Blowing off steam can work wonders, it is up to all of us as individuals to help divert that steam into more productive areas, not add fuel to the fire like many do in Home, kids mostly. Great read, I look forward to your next piece.
