I do not speak for Zenhussy, only me. I hope that she is not an PB icon for incivility, only unfairness. No one like Zen should be blocked for 48 weeks. To say that someone is that dangerous is to ascribe way too much importance to this place, seriously. There has to be a better way than sumarily executing a person on a mental health support forum. I admit however that I wasn't there, so maybe she did commit a capitol crime as so convicted.
Perhaps one factor, em, is the "Howard Dean" effect. Establishments are uncomfortable with people who are so impassioned. These people become viewed as dangerous because of their intensity. Their image can be transformed from someone positive for this country or this site to someone bad after their excitable utterences are spun into some negative persona by others.
I hope you are wrong about the list thing. I would hope that if there is any catagorization, that it is with each individual post as either appropriate or not.
