Okay, I feel a little like Demi Moore in A Few Good Men.

"I object!"

Overruled.

"I strenuously object!"

Overruled.

Is there really anything I can say in objection to this block that I haven't said in my other forays onto Admin questioning previous ones? Not really. Will anything I or anyone else says make the least little bit of difference? It appears not.

Thanks for the lesson in advanced Babbematics Bob, but it doesn't change anything. Giving the appearance of doing something isn't the same as actually doing something. The appearance of change doesn't signify any *real* intent to change. Your wonderful new calculation doesn't change the fact that the punishment significantlty outweighs any perceived crime or slight. It is also focuses solely on negatives or the lack thereof.

Surely the 'unofficial' PBC was sufficient. Surely the fact that there were more than a dozen posts by Deputies none of which raised issue with the post/statements prior to that counts for something.

And yes I can hear people saying "He's only questioning it because they're friends." Well you're right in a sense. I do feel honour bound to speak up for my friend. Honour bound because my friend is not uncivil, is not insensitive, is not inconsiderate. Simply is not, and I will not allow those implications to go unchallenged.

I do not understand what you are trying to achieve. To protect people from their feelings? You can't do it. I do not understand what good is served by this and some other blocks; what supportive or educational end. I don't see what is served other than to make someone just "Shut the f*ck up".

The selection of the statements re American/Americans was sadly predictable and I'm not going to waste more words flogging that poor dead horse again. But to suggest that there may be some New Zealander out 'there' somewhere who may be offended is really a bit much when what was being said was that; "I who am one won't be offended, and I who know more of them than any of you ever will don't know one that would be either." You are basically telling this person that *you* know better. And that is simply not true. How far do your idiosyncratic civility rules and the 'boundaries' of babble extend? As an Australian who knows plenty too, I can't think of one who would be either. But again we've spoken at length about this previously.

Special, I'm sorry, I've failed to do you and what you are trying to achieve justice yet again. I'm sorry that you've been blocked, and will miss you. Please take very good care of you.
