I wasn't thinking of posts that I made that I knew full well I'd be blocked for (the ones you are talking about). I was thinking of blocks I had prior to those... The ones that came out of the blue, as far as I was concerned. I think they were blocks for saying critical things about the US as an abstract entity (around the time of the war on terror, I believe). Stuff like that. There may have been some blocks given for stuff I said in promotion of my views on atheism, even.
These were all *well before* I gave up trying to be civil. It is *because* of the above (because of my failure to be civil(TM according-to-Bob-at-the-time) together with how much I needed these boards that resulted in my losing it, rather.
I'm not blaming Dinah for any of this. If she wants things to go back to the way things were... Around then... With people being blocked for saying things about Bush (because some posters support Bush and any critique of Bush was taken personally by them as a critique on them) and so on... Well... Bob has offered her a board that can be like that. If 10 and PC and her and... However many other people would feel safer there...
But they seem to think that ALL the boards must be like that or else they don't want to be here at all. Which I find strange. Because I'm not saying ALL the boards must NOT be like that or I won't be here at all. I don't quite understand why people won't take the compromise.
