"I know a few hardcore conservatives who spend their evenings trolling liberals on social media - do you think they really care if you block them? They only laugh and dig their heels in deeper on their (misguided, in my opinion) notions, then go looking for the next troll victim. Your block is nothing more than a symbol of their victory to them."
why do you...know these people...

Not to mention that the point of blocking them is so I don't have to deal with them anymore. I couldn't care less how they feel about it. What trolls crave is attention, and in the long run blocking starves them of that.

varnish comes from a conservative family, according to what they said.
and who cares about what the conservatives who go out of their way to make other people feel bad feel; the "victory" they get comes from a sense of spiteful gratification when the person they were talking to effectively sees no value in having their company. the person blocking is walking away victorious because it's seizing control over what they spend their time on. they are exercising their autonomy and the freedom to spend their energy on other people and things that are productive instead of wasting it on someone who wants them to be miserable.
