I agree entirely. It began to be ridiculous and wasn't helping. Some of the "blahhked" people were doing it to be funny/annoying, and not because there is a long silence after a blocked and there is a question regarding receipt. It was particularly annoying because the channel was busy for a very good reason during the time.
I really didn't think this would be controversial. But obviously the short crowd have to try to prove they are better aviators than a doctor and bring out the insults!

Yep. My experience asking a few too.
