well HALLELUJAH (or however the hell you spell that).
> > (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????)
> Um, I hope that's not sarcasm.It isn't sarcasm. It is the point that you can't rearrange everything to rule out the POSSIBILITY of people feeling hurt. Because people can / will get hurt at almost anything... So you need to decide what kinds of things warrant a blocking and what kinds of things do not.
Dr BOb thinks critiquing and ideal / political party / ideology warrants a blocking.
(he is also none too charitable on distinguishing between attacking posters and critiquing ideology etc in my opinion)
I think it does not warrant a blocking.
That is what I"m wanting to discuss...
> Or perhaps they have different ways of expressing their concerns?Oh. Ok. So what are your concerns then?
Are you concerned about the political blockings?
> I'm glad. I would hope that no one here is trying to frighten you into submission.fear of looming blocks...
