    Food for consideration:

    1. Blocking people makes the place more pleasant for you, which makes you a more pleasant person to interact with and the people you respond to will tend to reflect that.
    2. Blocking people denies them interaction even in their less acerbic comments, making the place less fun for people who are so inclined.

    Since becoming a parent, I’ve learned that sometimes self-care is caring for others because it helps us keep from being ground down to our worse selves.

    That’s not to say more can’t be done, but don’t discount the effectiveness of starving negativity of air.
