Should I admit this?
Dear All,
I've been BLOCKED twice and I simply don't understand why.
One blocker (I won't give his name) has apparently retired from our site.
The second guy was someone I contacted this last week (in the TWIN CITIES) as I'll be visiting in October and all seemed to be going well ... but the next thing I knew he had BLOCKED me. Unfortunately we have NO right of reply!
If you know me, I hope you'll agree that I'm polite, sane, reliable. So on what possible evidence did he suddenly decide that I'm dangerous, a threat, needing to be BLOCKED? He only needed to send me a message: "Sorry but no thanks". I'd then have replied: "I quite understand - but many thanks for your prompt, polite reply, which I appreciate."
WHAT ON EARTH can I have done to offend someone who, after all, had actually suggested that he'd like to meet me in Minneapolis?

Blocking should only be necessary in the most extreme circumstances. Though surprised, I've got over it and will continue to respond politely as I am sure you and most others do too. Thanks for your response.

Actually coming through and meeting someone might be asking too much from some of those guys. And then there's always someone else's unknown weirdness for which you cannot be responsible. So...IMO...don't take it personally...it's his loss.
