There are at least 3 global warming deniers who have blocked me so that I cannot view or answer their questions.
I'm not asking this question to complain (and I'm not going to name names), but I'm curious as to why they've done this. Personally I think there are several people who contribute little if anything to the Yahoo Answers Environment section (and even detract from it by spreading misinformation), but I don't block them because I think everyone should be entitled to express his opinion. Apparently several global warming deniers don't feel this way.
Is it because they want to be shielded from opposing viewpoints? From scientific evidence, which I usually present in my answers? Do they somehow find my answers too abrasive? Are they afraid I'm going to report their questions as abuse (which I only do if they are blaitantly violating community guidelines)?
What's the dealio?
