I don't think Dr. Bob deliberately lets some posters get by (I know this was not directed at me but...) And although I said earlier that I don't believe the blocks have anything to do with Bob caring about peoples feelings I shouldn't have because its an exaggeration. Dr. Bob puts up with an awful lot of abuse with likely little payoff there has to be some caring there.
Its easy to get angry when you get zapped and others don't, not because its petty but because the penalties are so harsh. Its hard not to get angry when you know that if you slip you might get a 12 week block, and if someone else slips
nothing happens.
With the triple block system its easy to get a lengthy punishment for something fairly minor.
Ironically if you never quite 'get' the rules
no matter how good your heart, the more likely you are to get caught on a technicality and get blocked simply because you are reaching out more.I just needed to mention that because its so easy to think someone looks small because they call attention to someone getting away with something, its not small in the scheme of things.
