I'm not too clever, but could there be a civility rule about a poster who is being uncivil in that he/she's getting others all riled up?
Also a HUGE problem for me is the seemingly limited use of pbc's generally and a big reliance on outright blocks.
And they can arrive so shockingly, with no chnace to explain oneself, or to even realize your own self, that you need to back off and chill awhile. In the heat of the moment its too easy to just hit the post buttons without rereading your post. Wrong perhaps, but human.
I also have a HUGE problem with the seeming arbitrary LENGHTH of blocks. Blocks don't always seem to fit the crime.
I'm ALSO dismayed that so many of us in this community are expressing dismay at the lengh or existance of a particular persons block, BUT TO NO AVAIL?!!? We don't own the website , but are WE not the community? Dr. Bob is just an overseer to keep things running I thot. Do we have no say?
I'm a little dissappointed really about that last thing.
I am very impressed however with how well people have dealt with this thing.
Babblers are great people. Just wish it weren't so harsh here.
Dunno if I made sense.
