It wasn't fun, but maybe this is why I have have trouble understanding the original poster's attitude: I earned that block fair and square. I knew I was being naughty, and I chose to do it anyway. I broke a rule, and I broke it knowingly. As a result, when Dr Bob blocked me, I sat out my time in the corner. It was a fair punishment, I earned it, I had been warned, it was based on my actions, etc.
I earned my block. I accepted my block as a result. Maybe it's at least in part a function of taking responsibility for our own actions?
Just, you know, a thought on the subject...
