FYI: I have a low bar for blocking people who have according-to-me bad, overconfident, takes about probability theory, in particular. For whatever reason, I find people making claims about that topic, in particular, really frustrating. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
The block isn’t meant as a punishment, just a “I get to curate my online experience however I want.”
I think blocks are pretty irrelevant unless one conditions on the particular details of the situation. In this case I think the messages I were sharing are very important. If you think my messages are instead unimportant or outright wrong, then I understand why you would find the block less interesting, but in that case I don’t think we can meaningfully discuss it without knowing why you disagree with the messages.
I’m not particularly interested in discussing it in depth. I’m more like giving you a data-point in favor of not taking the block personally, or particularly reading into it.
(But yeah, “I think these messages are very important”, is likely to trigger my personal “bad, overconfident takes about proabrbility theory” neurosis.)
