> It's not always easy to handle hurt in a mature way. Some people just leave. I'd prefer for them not to feel hurt in the first place.
***but its GUARANTEED to hurt if your blocked.
And lets be real here, duhhhh, ya, people hurt each other, its a fact of life, they may not mean to do it, but with blocks there's no chance of apology, to talk it out, etc. Sorta like getting hit upside the head with a 2x4 and getting no chance to reply.
I admire that you want babble to be safe, but it needs to be real too........
IRL its illegal to bash someone for a slight miscomment......Hell, it just ain't civil....

> It's necessary to have some rules. Having rules means making judgments. Making judgments means deciding that some posts are against the rules. Deciding that posts are against the rules hurts those posters. Ergo, unfortunately, it's necessary to hurt some posters.***so it all basically comes down to a judgement call from The Man. I guess I have a problem with the fact that there is no avenue of appeal if perhaps you had a human moment and maybe made a mistake?
See the post MIGHT have hurt someone, maybe, but the block DID hurt someone, FOR SURE.
Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm.
Sure wouldn't want your job......
