For me, blocks are not something that scare me, but having been blocked made me realise that if I wanted to continue getting support and gather education from this site, that I'd better follow the rules. I can't say everything in the way that sometimes I'd like to. But the rules force me to rethink how I can express myself without being uncivil according to the FAQs. That is an education in itself, and it's helped my communication skills.
I'm not a poster child for the blocking system, but I do have a personal understanding of how they are intended to work.
