Or realize, but don't change how they act?
**But what if they do???
I think it would be disruptive if people were posting something uncivil every 2 weeks...
***IF they did....

Its frustrating and mostly its just painful to read posts and not be able to respond normally to them. It TOTALLY just reinforces the bad feelings that come with the block.(Leper, leper, stay AWAY)

See, the prob with Bobs obsession with GUIDELINES, is that the guidlines are rather nebulous by nature of humaness, and as a result of trying to improve them, they become more nebulous.....and then people feel they are unfair, because they are inconsistant(due to being nebulous).
So I feel BOB, that in order to compensate for 'nebulosity' as it were, that it would become less of an issue ALL ROUND, if you would just CAP the friggin blocks.
Why don't you try it?????????????????????????
It would seem that people can get on and post anyways.....
So there's bad feelings about :-(
There's been good people hurt , that DIDN'T need to be hurt.
