Well, I for one, am sorry to hear you've blocked AP for obvious reasons.

Actually, maybe they're only obvious to me. Yeah, probably.

But, it's not my decision, it's yours and I respect your right to make it. No doubt that article AP wrote was hitting below the belt, so to speak. You're right about bad faith arguing/rebuttals/debating/histrionics/meltdowns/diatribes being a waste of time unless of course you just want to slug it out.

And blocking doesn't have to be forever. I sometimes temporarily block people just to take a break from them when they're getting on my last damn nerve.
