Please be sensitive to the feelings of others (such as supporters of John Howard).
But please don't take this personally, this doesn't mean I don't like you or think you're a bad person.
If you or others have questions about this or about posting policies in general, or are interested in alternative ways of expressing yourself, please first see the FAQ:

http://www.dr-bob.org/babble/faq.html#enforceFollow-ups regarding these issues, as well as replies to the above post, should of course themselves be civil.
Thanks.

> Maybe we should act *as if* they were here.I think it's reasonable to assume that there are supporters of John Howard here. But I don't remember anyone posting in support of him, so I'm just using a multiplier of 2 (see below).

PS: I'm trying out a new system:
previous block: 2 weeks
period of time since previous block: 10 weeks
uncivil toward a particular individual or group: yes (but see above)
particularly uncivil: no
different type of incivility: no
clearly didn't understand PBC and made effort to reply: no
provoked: no
uncivil in multiple posts at same time: no
already archived: noIf we take 10 weeks, divide by 10, and round down, that's a reduction of 1 week. If we apply that to your previous block, that's 2 - 1 = 1 week. And if we multiply that by 2, that's 2 weeks.
