that Bob hasn't Pbc'ed or blocked pretty much anyone during what seems to me a rather contentious discussion of many intersecting issues here on Admin.
He has blocked Zazenduckie, which is unfortunate. However, I was becoming concerned not only for Zazenduckie, but for others, in the course of that discussion. I wish there had been another way to put a pause on that discussion, in the hope that some of the bad feelings evoked or expressed in it would cool down. I really do. Perhaps, as Bob suggests, I (or others) could have found a better way to respond.
However, I wonder if there's something other than Bob's handling of anything that's motivating the discussion now. I mean, I personally feel strongly that long blocks are wrong, hurtful, and not what I would do or want done. But maybe that becomes a focus of emotion when we're avoiding something else.
I don't know what's really going on or at stake here, but it feels as if something or some feeling other than what's being said or discussed-- is not being said.
