User blog:The Smarter, Wiser King Dedede/Blocking someone permanently/identifitely DOESN'T mean you're being disrespectful

This is something that I REALLY wanted to put out, for a long time now, and now I've finally had the courage to do it.

Basically, I'm sure we all know who harassed us, me especially, about being disrespectful for leaving her blocked despite that fact that she "changed" (and I put changed in quotations because she clearly didn't change) a few months ago. Basically, the mentality she carried (and from what I understand, STILL carries), is that leaving someone blocked despite the fact they've changed (and about 70% of the time, I can guarantee you, it's just them CLAIMING they've changed) is mean/disrespectful/rude/immature. Well, I made this stamp, and am going to elaborate, why that's clearly not true at all.

To me, blocking someone is basically saying to them "I'm done dealing with your crud, you're not worth my time.". I've had to block people like that before in the past, and so have a lot of my friends, an example being PatVet and all his accounts. As such, when you get unblocked, if at all, by me is solely up to me and ME only; not you. Yes, it's never too late to change. But that doesn't mean you automatically earn a second chance by me. A lot of it also depends on how MUCH you've changed; if you've only changed like, say, very little, I'm probably not going want to unblock you. Even then, there are times where I'm going to leave a user unblocked permanently, regardless of if they change or not, if they get on my nerves too long, too often, they repeat their actions again and again after several unblocks, or if they commit a single atrocious act, such as sending me a suspicious link intended to mess up my computer or a link to a shock site. Leaving someone blocked permanently isn't being disrespectful in the slightest, and don't let anyone tell you otherwise. It's you putting your foot down and saying "your behavior has been so awful you've lost my trust". If someone in prison with a life sentence changes into a better person 4 years into their sentence, does that mean they automatically get a second chance and go free? No, of course not. The best that will happen in that scenario is the prisoner going down the prison system, from maximum security, to medium, and finally to minimum. If you want to be unblocked by me, not only do you have to show you've changed, but you also have to show remorse for your previous actions and change enough to the point where I can believe you'll never do those actions again.

If someone you've blocked is using other means to tell you that you're being disrespectful for leaving them blocked, just ignore them. The only time you WOULD be disrespectful for leaving someone blocked is if you blocked that user for a stupid or no reason. If you've blocked them for justifiable reasons, then don't give in to what they're saying. And yes, to make it perfectly clear, the user that harassed me for being disrespectful, I blocked her for a perfectly justifiable reason (harassing others including me about trivial things). You block people because they aren't worth your time, and if they're going to harass you for being disrespectful for leaving them blocked, that's just further proving it.
