The 2-week block message from Bob was as follows:
> Scott is my favorite Babbler.............to ignore.
Please don't post anything that could lead others to feel accused or put down.
Yet..... in the PB policies section, I found this:
"Be aware that there may be posters who try to start arguments and upset people ("troll"). Of course, not everyone who starts an argument or upsets someone *intends* to do so. What can be done about those who do? It may be best just not to respond. If you do, please be civil. One possible response is to encourage others not to respond, and one civil way to do that is to post something like:
Different points of view are fine, but sometimes discussions just lead to discord and it may be best just not to respond."
----------------------------------------------
It seems I was well within the guidelines, even to the point of encouraging others to ignore posts/posters they don't like, which the policy states as a good thing.Being blocked is no biggie, personally, but I think Bob owes me an apology.
