> For instance, after the third time I asked you if a particular posters' habitually questioning others' posts was uncivil, and having you say "I think it's acceptable," I could no longer try to change that habit, without getting blocked... Even if that was only my third request in a year and the habitual questioner was questioning others' posts every day!

Right.

That still would be an improvement, wouldn't it?

I understand the potential benefit of asking for clarification, but in practice, that hasn't always been welcomed, either.

I don't think someone needs to be active or the subject to have a valid opinion about the civility of a post.

And the more conditions there are, the more complicated the whole thing gets...

If the complaint isn't upheld, then do they need to defend themselves? If it is, then they'd be notified and could respond (either here or by email)...
