I suggest that the debate about blocking policies is unresolvable, as has been emphatically demonstrated recently.Consequently, I recommend that this site follow the same blocking procedure adopted by other posting sites: if you're blocked, that's between you and the site admin. You can appeal all you want, and you can have others weigh in with their support, but it is a PRIVATE matter not open to debate on the boards.
While it is admirable that blocking policies may be debated ad nauseum on the Admin Board, I think that the number, length, and intensity of these debates may be undermining the point of the civility policy. From what I see, these recent debates have started to create bad feelings, both interpersonally and regarding certain boards.
I recommend that the best policy is wholly private handling of blocking disputes.
