GG, Bob means if the speed limit is 55, then you don't get a warning for going 54. You also don't get a ticket until you're going over 60. Do we want babble to be like that? I guess some do. I would have voted for a more cautious approach (in terms of being more sensitive). But it's Bob's site.
I think if someone continued to use wording that could imply put downs after they were warned not to, then they could get a new warning telling them to ask for help in wording (or asking others to help them with wording). And after some number of poorly worded posts, they get blocked. Doesn't that seem fair? We're a pretty helpful bunch, especially when people aren't implying that we're bad in some way. If someone shows a sincere desire to be supportive, and possibly just lack of communication skills, then we'll definitely help.
