>> Now ill get blocked for this
Not by me, you won't, as that isn't the action I deem appropriate at this time, in this specific situation. However, Dr. Bob has oversight over deputy decisions, and he may choose a different action.
A couple of thoughts...if in the future, you find you've written something like, "I'll get blocked for this," maybe wait a bit before submitting the post, or run it by a 'civility buddy?' I know I speak for all the deputies in saying we don't want posters to be PBC'd or blocked, so we hope you can find a way to follow the civility rules, even when feeling provoked. I know it can be difficult.
If your thread veers off topic - no matter what you feel is the reason - try posting again yourself with a *very* specific subject line (helps draw people who may give support/education) and a 2nd request to discuss your original question. I've seen this work effectively.
If you or others have questions about this or about posting policies in general, or are interested in alternative ways of expressing yourself, please see the FAQ: http://www.dr-bob.org/babble/faq.html#civil
Follow-ups regarding these issues should be directed to Admin and should of course be civil.
-- 10derHeart, acting as deputy for Dr. Bob
