My general view is that people should want and expect feedback on their art and writings posted here. It is bad enough when somebody posts general artwork, photos, or stories with comments closed. But I find it especially off putting when it involves ideological content. You are effectively saying to people, here is my opinion, and I do not value yours. I will not add such items to my favorites, even if I agree with the point being made. The point of ideological art, essays, etc. is to have a discussion about the issues, not to have your say and cut off discussion. Also, I encourage people to engage with those they disagree with. Do not block people merely because they disagree with you. That is not to say that you should take whatever comes. It makes sense to block people who insult you or lie about you, but not merely people whose viewpoints offend you. I might make an exception if the viewpoint is personally threatening.

True, makes me wonder why they throw it on the internet in the first place, if they're just going to live in their tiny cocoon.
