It's the upvote/downvote mechanism. If you know you're right but you've been downvoted, you tend to try and redeem the argument. But because of herd mentality you'll never win. The worst new tactic I've seen people use is replying to you and then blocking you so you can't see or reply to their comment, or any direct children of that comment. It's sooo petty and annoying, but Reddit has decided that's how blocking works. Which is ridiculous.
