The thing that's getting overlooked here is the administrative side. Dr. Bob is often off board for days at a time. Yes, there are deputies, but...
At any rate, if posters are to be only blocked for brief periods of time, then come back for brief periods of time before being blocked again, there are going to be problems and innocents (in the sense that they are responding to rather than intitiating uncivil posts) getting admin actions and all the accompanying disturbance that comes when there's a dustup on board.
There is no way on god's green earth that twelve one month blocks are equivilant to one twelve month block administratively or in terms of how it affects the board, the posters, etc.
If Dr. Bob were viewing every post before it got posted, then yes, maybe. Otherwise it's just NOT equivilant.
