> Actually, I might like to propose that different types of infractions might start over at one week. Because the basis of long blocks is the assumption that people would learn over time what is and isn't allowable. But that doesn't necessarily translate into other types of violations. So someone who was blocked for a long period of time for giving information on the illegal import of drugs without prescription several times wouldn't necessarily understand the three post limit, and wouldn't be deliberately breaking the rules.
> Maybe I have overlooked something, but that seems more in keeping with the spirit of lengthy blocks to me.
Yeah. I might be tempted to agree. With respect to 'technical' things like that. With respect to attacking / accusing other people... Well... I have to say that it took a while... But I have come around to the idea of lengthy blocks.
I've been worried about Bob too.
He seems to go all quiet sometimes.
I know he is busy...
But I worry about it when people are attacking him...
And when people are mad at him.
I know it is his job to deal with that...
But then it isn't really because he's not our p-doc...
And then even people whose job it is to deal with that sort of sh*t don't deal with it very well...
And I'd better shut up now.
