> In order to "argue" and speak for their cases in a democratic fashion, I think blocked posters should still be able to post to this PBAdmin board. This would allow them the chance to have their arguments heard.
It would also allow them to continue to be uncivil. They can argue their cases with me by email while they're blocked and post again after that.
> The "two strikes you are blocked a week; three two weeks; and then always doubled" seems like a cold and calculated policy to me. I and many others don't see everything in such simple black and white terms.
Coldness is in the eye of the beholder, but some calculation definitely went into it. The "strike zone" isn't always black and white...
> What I think would be a true gift of this website, and add to it as a "rehabilitative" place on the web, is if somebody took time to seriously discuss what he feels is his concerns.
Rehabilitation is an admirable goal, but beyond the scope of this site.
> Why can't we have discussions about meeting "everyone's" needs?
We can discuss that, but what if some people need to express their anger and other people need to feel safe?
