I see posters as primarily responsible for their behaviors, both those that lead to blocks and those that don't. I see myself as primarily responsible for the blocks -- and for deciding which behaviors will lead to blocks.
If others say they don't think a behavior that leads to a block should lead to one, that can encourage the behavior, in which case I'd see them as secondarily responsible for that behavior. Or at least for posters not rephrasing or apologizing for it.
