> Why would you think it necessary to single me out for especially severe blocks?
1. I don't see them as especially severe. They follow the guidelines. Which I've been exhorted to follow, and which I do in general try to follow.
2. I haven't shown you leniency, that's true. I guess I'm not sure how else to respond to your pattern of actions, so I fall back on policy.
Would you like to suggest an alternative? Would you like me to allow you to take the lead, stay with whatever feelings you have, not ask questions or change the subject, and not analyze or interpret?
3. Do you have a theory as to why I respond to you the way I do? Is it that I consider you threatening?
> it is impossible for me to understand why you would consider me threatening in any way
Even now, fresh from a block:
> a lack of respect and appreciation on Bob's part
> very cold comments
Could you please rephrase those?
> If I am blocked again for something like this, I will never visit this forum again.
If you keep posting things like that, and I can't think of a better way to respond, I'll keep blocking you. Are we a rock and a hard place?
