This is where I began the thread.After all that has been said, nothing has changed in my mind.
I will avoid jumping to conclusions here regarding the intended meaning of the author and just say that if the statement identified for sanction were indeed uncivil, I believe it was the result of an unconcious error made by the author when composing a post in an environment where standards of posting behavior are strict and difficult to navigate. Since the statements made were not eggregiously uncivil, I would have preferred to see a PBC issued instead of a posting block.
It was my hope by posting here that Dr. Bob would consider reducing the sanction to a PBC or a shorter posting block. I do not dislike Ray and hate to see her gone for 12 weeks. She is a pivotal member of the Faith board and will be missed.
