"May I ask how you think your posting behaviors and how others handle their posting and conflict might be improved?"
Weeeeellll.....we could become perfect....
But thats not possible.
We screw up from time to time. We are human.
But I didn't used to come here to have my behaviour modified. I came for support.
I found that here, other posters WERE supportive, even when I had my 'moments'.
Yes, sometimes there are posters that have trouble with emotional lability, or some just have a hard time using the written word, but once they been here awhile, people get to know them and understand that there is usu no malicious intent, its just words gone wrong.
Sometimes yes, there is a need for someone to have a cooling off period (rarely, and then ONLY a short one...)
So this is a long winded answer to say that I don't think people here actually need to change much.....they do well already...given the chance.
Over time, as I have spent more time online, my opinions regarding how this site is run have changed. And no doubt they will continue to evolve.
But at this point, I still remain opposed to the blocking system here.
I guess we will have to agree to disagree.
I wish you would listen more to your deputies, they are the ones that are here most...
