Hmmm… That's one way to look at it...
And it may be that because of how *you* learned to cope, Robert Hsuing, that you encounter responses such as Sal’s.
Are you trying to bloody Sal’s nose on the hood of your patrol car as you take out the unwelcome visitor? You have Sal’s e-mail info. You collected it during the registration process. All you need to do to block someone is execute a few keystrokes. You don’t have to boast about it to in your archives. You could easily *please e-mail me instead*, to discuss with them privately the terms of their banishment. Are you trying to make an example of Sal, for the benefit of the group, as you asserted in the Cyberpsych article?

> The school staff seemed to endorse such hazing
In fact, if you blocked Sal because of “how you learned to cope” how does that relate to the American’s with Disabilities Act? Did you block Sal because of an apparent disability? Perhaps you should contact the new Republican U.S. Congress; they might be friendly to an *adjustment* of the ADA.
