I don't disagree with what you've said.
Other than, as I said above, stating "In my opinion..." does not make something that would otherwise be uncivil, civil.
I did try to indicate that the Politics Board would be administered more as it used to be. I recognize that my indications may not have been sufficient. None of these are new rules or even new interpretations of the rules. We're trying to do what Dr. Bob would do if he were more present.
I recognize that it's difficult to understand the lines. If it weren't, we wouldn't be asking for as much input from Dr. Bob as we're asking. I have no real objection to using more warnings at first, if Politics Board posters prefer, as long as the effort to work back up to the old level of administration is mutual. I can't speak for Dr. Bob of course. But it is reasonable to me that if it's hard to administer, it's probably hard to comply as well.
Should I suggest that? Would Politics Board posters be ok with recognizing PBC's as guidelines? And deputies will recognize that there is a learning process involved?
We don't actually like to block anyone. If reminders will help everyone understand the guidelines better, and keep the board as positive and supportive as possible, I'm certainly more than willing to go that route.
