That isn't what I said...

Of course those should be taken into account.
But Bob seems to put higher priority on the 'possible people' (ie even when nobody is actually offended... People still get blocked because people 'possibly could' be offended).
> can you just do a list of WHAT you are arguing?Maybe I'm not arguing...
So much as I'm thinking about things...
About the way things are at present...
About the considerations that the current system works on...
About the rationalisation for the current system...And I'm wondering / worrying about that.
> A stop to all blocks? A stop to blocks you don't agree with? Keep blocks but keep them shorter?
I think sometimes people are blocked when they would be better off being asked to rephrase.
I think sometimes / most times people are blocked for too long.
