> If there were an appeal process where one could explain the mindset or circumstances in which replies were posted (and a chance to retract) would seem a more open and fair way in which other would have a chance to understand another's perspective and possibly be more empathetic. IMHO
Who would we like to understand and empathize with? Say A posts, B replies in an uncivil (as determined by me) way, and I block B.
1. If I give B a chance to explain their mindset and circumstances, maybe I'll understand and empathize with them and unblock them.
But maybe I'd be unlikely to change my mind. I supported the idea of a Community Council made up of posters independent of me that could hear appeals and lift blocks:

but the community voted to keep me King.
2. If B gives A a chance to explain their mindset and circumstances, maybe they wouldn't reply in an uncivil way in the first place and I wouldn't be involved at all.
I'd be OK with that, too.
