I don't wish to express myself about this, until he expresses himself.
If I knew why he felt this I statement was worthy of this sanction, I could also speak to the debate.
She appeared to have sincerely made an effort to meet the guidelines, IMHO. I recall, very early on in my experience here, falling afoul of the civility standards by failing to express myself in I-statement form. I recall that I obtained more than one opportunity to rephrase, but that was because I was sincerely trying.
I think that sincerely trying, absent any kind of guidance, should not result in a block, in any case. If the student hasn't learned, then the teacher hasn't taught.
