Yes, you can spam block and delete all you want. The reality is that he's there, not going away until HE decides to. That is the point. People don't get that, and that's okay. I pray it doesn't take it happening to them or someone they love for them to get a grip.

The OP isn't the one arguing the point. Or I'd agree with you.

Haven't read all the Post.But years ago was talking with a woman on line.Then one day she shows up on my Front Door from her Home 600 miles away. My wife was really good about it,let her stay a couple days.

But after she left it got really weird,I told her I had had it with her.Didn't talk with her for a year.Then she asked me to call her.I asked my wife about it.She said do what I thought was best.Well I didn't call her back.

IRC he doesn't even have her last name or any other way of contacting her. So end the drama and just block the guy. Or if it's really THAT big a deal shut your profile down there.

When I was on match anyone that looked at my profile, winked or sent me mail, I looked at their profile and if I didn't like it, I just blocked it. No point in carrying on with someone you have no interest in. Not even worth wasting 5 more seconds on.

I find this unnecessarily harsh... Looking at your profile is not a reason for blocking people just because they're not to your liking. Chances are they won't even contact you. They've been simply window-shopping.

I blocked only one person, and I blocked him only because I had gone out with him before I joined, and did not care to ever talk to him again. But I agree with you, unless someone that I really disliked was sending ugly emails, I'd have no reason to block them. Now, I can "remove" people from my searches, and then I won't ever see them pop up again, and I do that all the time....I think the last time I was on there I had something like 1800 profiles removed (been a member almost 3 years - on and off). Doesn't mean that they can't see me, or contact me, but generally that doesn't matter. If someone emails or "winks", and I'm not interested, I simply don't respond. No biggie.

So you'd have no problem with someone contacting you after you've said no? Or going out with someone who has rejection issues? Do you know how many crimes are committed that could have been prevented if the person had been reported the first time?

They send an email. I delete it. Big deal. Sending an 3 or 4 emails. Delete key. Don't play their game...it's simple. No. Absolutely not an issue. Especially in her case...she isn't even receiving the emails - she has to log on to the site to see them. Big wup. Don't read them.
This is NOT someone knocking at her door (no idea where she lives). He has her phone number and has NEVER CALLED her back again. So...hello??

Sorry, but this is REALLY gone overboard. I'm tired and done with it - I think I've made my opinion clear by now.

It's not harsh at all. I simply look at the profile and voila if they are not right for me, block. Can't see the reason why they need to look at me again or I have to rifle through them again in search results. I learned the hard way when I was younger that I needed to be more selective about who I date and not just date people because they are available or interested in me. If I'm not interested what's the point?
