Precisely why I am so upset by his behaviour. If he's going to try and emulate concepts like the Golden Rule, then I expect him to match those concepts. Not his version of them, biased and distorted, and worst of all, intermittent.
Those are civil descriptors, by the way, but I will rephrase or retract if directed to do so.

That's the family part. If he would only leave me alone to do it. Guidance, instead of blocking. Then, he would be parenting.
I would never mind being blocked, if I expected it. If I knew I had done something wrong. I've said it before, and I'll say it again: I do not believe I have deserved a single block I have ever received, except one. And that one, he reversed. I didn't want him to reverse it. He did that on his own (breaking another precedent).
According to the precedent of how the site works, I guess I received what was my due. The fact that people can become expert at it (Bobjectivity) is irrelevent, though. If only the FAQ had given me fair warning, I'd never have been blocked. The rules should protect the novice as well as the expert. If they don't, there's something wrong with the rules, and/or how they are applied. Civility 101.
