On Blocking Players

<Comment deleted by user>

Blocking is ok, because it does not have any negative impact on the other person - at least not measurable.
Canceling games (after playing d4) is much more frustrating...

Nobody has the right to play with a given person. Therefore, block as many players as you want...

I just blocked Boomshackalacka

"... Putin’s..."
Yes, that's the bias theme again. A GM friend of mine told me: you know, it's not only the Russians, it's also the Chinese bots, and of course the bots of the US. They started it, there are books about it."

So let me declare: I am not a specialist in that, but there are a lot of books around on this toxic topic (which I haven't read).

Oh yeah I was gonna comment on the weird behavior of blocking London players. What will you do when your opponent plays it in an OOB match? Punch em?

I just prepare as good as I can so that I can relax and have a good time with that game instead of getting annoyed.

I think all blocking is pretty gross. I never block any players, for any reason. I also don't block on social media.
