a question is not an assumption.

though the rationale / justification for the latter... is the former.

the reason why i want the distinction
(why i want people to acknowledge a distinction)
is because i want people to consider whether the current rules / blocking system (aka civilityBOB) is the best way in which to achieve civilityDICT.you need to acknowledge a distinction...
and to acknowledge the civilityBOB isn't perfect
(i hope nobody feels hurt about that... but then even if nobody feels hurt maybe i should worry that it is metaphysically possible that someone feel hurt????)
you need to acknowledge that civilityBOB isn't perfect (with respect to the ideal of achieving civilityDICT) before you would bother trying to improve it. before you would bother trying with constructive criticism.but maybe people are just interested in justifying the status quo.
i've been there done that.
i'll show you difference...
but it will have to be tomorrow 'cause now it is past one am and i need to zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
but i don't even know if i'll be around tomorrow...but then i worry about that a lot...
i do.but i won't be frightened into submission...
blocked
maybe
frightened
no
