Disagreements (lemmy.ca)

Why are people quick to ban or block because a comment makes them angry, rather than engage, debate or respectfully strongly disagree and leave the discussion at that?

Why can't people handle talking with someone who has a completely different view who can explain why they are against something that was said?

I can agree that sometimes a person only want to dump on people to make themself feel better. I am still not willing to censor someone like that. I refuse to listen to them, but I'm not going to censor them.

Each person can decide for themself if they want to engage with someone or ignore them

What is blocking someone if not a way to ignore and refuse to engage with them.

It can show how under developed their character is or reveal a personal weakness.

So you have someone who you refuse to engage in and recognize is a troll. It is your position that it is expected and good to ignore them and scroll past them but using a function that accomplishes the exact same thing programmatically is a personal weakness? Why?
