Hi there, I wanted to let you know that I sent a notification regarding that particular post, but was told by a deputy that SG had already been blocked on another thread. It does raise the question (for me) though, whether if someone has been blocked for one action, other posts made at or around the same time should be considered as well, since they are also uncivil, IMO. That is - should multiple incivilities compound a person's block? And, if this is the case, should it be noted on the thread so that the incivility is flagged as being caught?ClearSkies
