I try to keep it as safe here as possible. But unfortunately some people at some times may not fit this box.

Thanks for pushing for improvement. I agree, we need to keep working on the blocking system. But while we do that, is there some way we can help posters not get blocked? That would be a great way to support them. You could see it as a dialectic, trying at the same time to expand the box and to help people fit in it.
Or, looking at it another way, maybe we should just rely less on blocking. But then what would we rely on instead?
