The Baffling Psychology of Commenting Before Blocking: A Data Analyst's Take
The Baffling Psychology of Commenting Before Blocking
As someone who makes a living analyzing patterns in football statistics, human behavior on social media often leaves me more confused than Manchester United’s transfer policy. The particular phenomenon I want to examine today is what I call the “comment-and-block” maneuver - when someone leaves a comment then immediately blocks you before you can respond.
The Digital Mic Drop
This behavior is essentially the online equivalent of shouting an insult out of a car window while speeding away. It’s simultaneously aggressive and cowardly - like a football manager criticizing referees in post-match interviews after already leaving the stadium.
From my data-driven perspective, there are three possible explanations:
- Power Play: Like VAR decisions gone wrong, it’s about having the last word
- Cognitive Dissonance: They want to express disagreement but can’t handle counterarguments
- Emotional Regulation Failure: The blocking impulse only surfaces after hitting ‘send’
Statistical Oddities in Online Behavior
The sheer inconsistency reminds me of trying to analyze xG (expected goals) stats for teams that alternate between world-class and Sunday league performances. If you’re going to block someone, why engage at all? If you choose to comment, why not stand by your words?
It creates what we’d call in analytics an “unsustainable pattern” - behavior that doesn’t logically follow from its own premises. At least when players get red cards they have the decency to leave the pitch properly.
A Modest Proposal for More Sportsmanlike Conduct
Perhaps we need something akin to football’s fair play rules for online interactions:
- No blocking after 90 minutes (comments)
- VAR review for questionable blocks
- Yellow cards for repeated offenses
The irony isn’t lost on me that as someone who analyzes conflict (football matches) professionally, I’m now analyzing conflicts about analyzing conflicts. But as any good tactician knows - if you’re going to start something, at least have the courage to see it through.

댓글 후 블락? 과연 무슨 맛?
너무나도 현실적인 행동이지 않아요?
내가 말했듯이, 이건 마치 경기 끝난 후에 관중석에서 욕하는 감독처럼… ‘내가 이겼다!’ 라고 외치고는 곧바로 퇴장하는 거예요.
어떻게 하면 이렇게 심각한 순간에도 웃음이 나올까요? 정말로 말도 안 되는 패턴인데요,
- 댓글은 쓰고 싶은데
- 반박은 못 견디는 건 또 왜?
역시 인간의 심리… FIFA VAR보다 더 복잡하네요.
당신도 그랬어요?
저는 분석가지만 진심으로 궁금해요: ‘당신은 댓글 한 번 하고 바로 차단한 적 있나요?’
댓글 존중하고 싶으면 그냥 안 쓰세요! 차단하고 싶으면 그냥 차단하세요! 그냥 ‘미친’이라고 말하고 싶네요.
결론: 스포츠맨십 좀 보여주세요!
이제 온라인도 ‘공정경쟁’ 규칙 필요할 듯.
- 90분 지나면 댓글 금지
- 블록은 VAR로 리뷰
- 반복하면 노란 카드(?)
자기 마음대로 했던 사람들은 이제 생각해보세요. ‘내가 정말 원했던 건 이거였을까?’

- Portugal’s Real Weakness? A Tactical Swap with France Might Be the AnswerAs a data analyst who’s studied every playoff matchup and Euro final, I’ve noticed something odd: Portugal’s long-standing lack of elite forwards isn’t just bad luck—it’s a systemic gap. What if they borrowed France’s underused attackers and their midfield depth? It’s not as crazy as it sounds. Let’s break down the numbers, the chemistry, and why this might be the most logical tactical reset in European football history.
- Pep Guardiola's Tactical Experiments: Why Manchester City's Slow Starts Are By DesignAs a data analyst who's seen countless coaching patterns, I decode Pep Guardiola's infamous 'slow-start strategy' at Manchester City. While rivals field strongest XIs in preseason, Guardiola treats every friendly as a lab for squad evaluation and tactical tinkering. Here's why his mid-season surges aren't luck—they're calculated experiments with trophies as the endgame.
- Trent Alexander-Arnold's Rock-Solid Performance: Why His Substitution Was a Tactical MisstepAs a seasoned sports data analyst, I delve into Trent Alexander-Arnold's recent match performance, highlighting his defensive solidity and pinpoint passing. The decision to substitute him early, however, raises eyebrows—especially when his replacement nearly cost the team. Join me as I break down the numbers and question the tactical logic behind this move.
- Why Pep Guardiola's Position Swap Drills Are More Than Just Chaos – A Data Analyst's TakeAs a former NBA scout turned sports analyst, I break down the method behind Pep Guardiola's apparent 'positional chaos' in training. By forcing players like Haaland to play as creators or midfielders to defend, Guardiola isn't just tinkering – he's engineering empathy through data-driven role reversal. Learn how these drills create smarter teammates who anticipate each other's needs, with insights from basketball's similar 'positionless' trends.
