****yeah. whatever that means... sometimes people don't understand the difference... don't understand that their interpretation may not reflect reality... so you think they should be blocked and that is just too bad????*****
Blocks do not happen out of the blue. There are several warnings leading up to the block. I think the system was designed that way to give people a chance to reflect on the way their posts are being interpreted by others.
If after the warnings, the poster still can't see that their posts aren't being interpreted the way they see them, then a block might be in order to help the person reflect on how they express themselves and that it may be hurting others.
We can nitpick all day, but Dr. Bob's interpretations and the deputy's interpretations are just as valid as anyone and after warnings the responsibility rests with the poster to see that.
