Please don't post anything that could lead others to feel accused or put down. The last time you were blocked it was for 1 week, and I'm making this for another week.
If you or others have questions about this or about posting policies in general, or are interested in alternative ways of expressing yourself, please see the FAQ:

Follow-ups regarding these issues, as well as replies to the above post, should of course themselves be civil.
Thanks,
