>Good question, as I shouldn't have said predictability. : ) In hindsight, it's fairly easy (now) for me to see why someone was blocked, I would say the reasoning for the blocks is consistant. What I find inconsistant, is that some will get blocked and other people seem to get either endless P.B.C's or nothing said to them at all.
I've often been tempted to call attention to it, but it's really hard to do that, because often I don't think they deserve a block, my only issue is that someone else did get one. If I said something then I feel like a 5 year old tattling. Also I think some people might take it personally if I pointed out that their post seemed to have 'qualified' for a block by Bob's standards, even if I made clear that I don't want them to get one.
It happened to me just a little while ago except I was on the recieving end of leniency when I accidentally overrode the automatic asterisking
and typed in an entire swear word on the same posting day I think it was Shame, who got blocked for using the same word.do you need to factor in who the poster is before you make a prediction whether they will get a pbc / block for the content of their post do ya think?

For certain people especially a while ago, you could do that.
