> It sounds like you may not feel this is a balanced relationship?
i know it isn't a balanced relationship.
it isn't a balanced relationship by nature.
but why have more imbalance than there need to be?and in this case...
no i don't want to focus on my feelings. i want to focus on the facts. and the fact is that in the faq's you ask us to be charitable to you (well not in those words precisely i don't think but i'm sure you get the general drift) whereas when it comes to blockings you say that you just worry about the words on the page.
and you block people when IMHO in most cases the boards in general would profit more from working through the issue.
and what that means...
sometimes people just resign themselves to their likely fate.
like z.
:-(
and that leads to more infractions...
i still think the blocking system is too harsh
in the sense that it escalates the situation (with that poster)
and in the sense that people turn.and not just me.
there have been other people too...
not that i've turned exactly...
but it is damned hard :-(
