When your "truth" has nothing to do with reality, you get put on ignore.
You, Vatya, were put on ignore for moral reasons, although these often go hand in hand (the second person on ignore was a Russian fascist, although a very friendly guy).
It's surprising that since politics came into play, I've seen many people who I never encountered in tournaments.

Reality is different for everyone. In general, a person knows very little for certain, and they fill in the gaps by guessing, extrapolating, making things up, relying on someone else's opinion, and so on.
In short, it's a whole complex of pseudo-substitutions of concepts.
A simple example that was shown to me in kindergarten: a "empty" glass is taken, and the question is asked - what's in it? The children unanimously state that it's empty. No! says the teacher - it's full!! So what's in it?... After some unsuccessful attempts with dirt, etc., the teacher reveals the secret that the glass is full of air!!!
This is how a discrepancy arises in terms and concepts: some say it's empty, others say it's full. And both can argue to the death about their own rightness, because each of them speaks sincerely - the truth!!! But the truth does not necessarily mean the absolute truth! A person may be mistaken or not have complete information on the matter.
Let's go further - the children learned that there is such a thing as air - and this moment slightly changed their perception of the world. Their world CHANGED!!! imperceptibly, just a little.
What happens when our worldview changes significantly?
When we realize that we were wrong, and when we become aware that we made serious mistakes here and there, when we understand that we did something bad to someone. We experience stress!! - the body is designed in such a way that for every external impact, it has a set of measures prepared, on how to react.
Stress is an adaptive reaction of our body to produce such reactions to external stimuli.
It is not necessarily something bad, as is commonly believed; it can also be something good. That is, there is something new, to which our body does not know how to react - and it is necessary to develop a reaction to it - this process of developing this reaction is stress.
And what happens when the stress is so strong that our body cannot cope with this reaction? - a person goes crazy or "loses it," etc., and there may even be a fatal outcome.

So, let's return to the "reality" that is different for everyone.
When you are told things that break "your reality," you have two options: either modify your world or protect yourself from new information in order not to experience severe stress. It is quite logical that if the "collapse" of one's worldview leads to serious consequences, the body may stubbornly ignore certain things and phenomena for self-preservation.
So, ignoring someone on Skype is one such manifestation. :) It is quite possible.

I won't talk about politics, or the Evil Romantic will come and delete everything
