> You must rely on intention in order to issue any PBC or block. When issuing it, you have determined that the poster's intention was negative. Otherwise, there'd be no need for a PBC or block.
I disagree. And have tried to explain this before. I consider the perspective of the supportee more important than the perspective of the supporter:

"Tough love", for example, can be too tough.

Sometimes intention does enter into it. But isn't that how you think it should be?
