It's usually pretty clear which posters are harrassing and which are making an error in judgment. Sometimes the reasons for the block are not exactly clear, and neither the poster himself nor several other members of the board realize what was wrong with a post.
I have been blocked twice, but I'm not a person who deliberately starts trouble or says nasty things, nor do I harrass others. But I am human, and I make mistakes. Longer penalties for mistakes don't teach any lessons, especially when the mistakes are different each time.
Treating all things equally is not a fair practice. People aren't equal in any aspect of their lives.
Posters who are blocked and return long enough to be blocked again are few. Most of us, though, receive from and provide support to others.
