Block lists are an invention of the devil.
Why would I block people I don't know, and haven't interacted with, on the say-so of someone else I don't know?

He's wearing a suit and tie!
Visiting the White House and afraid of a telling-off?

Ignore, and tell them when they ask why you haven't answered?

The same was said of email and the Internet, steam power, and probably the Wheel.
The result is always the same.

Sorry, I don't do Grauniad clickbait anymore, since thwy demanded "money or data."
But I notice the quotation marks, which which suggest that nobody was really blocked from anything.

I often get asked if I'm German, or occasionally Dutch.
My theory? I'm clearly not French (schoolboy errors!), but I do take a bit of trouble over French vowel sounds. Which might make me sound a bit "not-English!"

Nor are you.

It was on an exercise, no ship involved was carrying ammunition. The USN knew this, as they'd been invited.
Plus, refusing to aid the survivors is against the Law of the Sea. Every sailor of every natioality knows this, and relies on it.

I think I'm inclined towards Samantha, more than Luigi, in a discussion of what constitutes Anglo-Saxon.
Is that racist?

I'm a 74yr old left-hander, and I didn't know these existed either!
