> At times, I have wondered about some blocks too. I don't always necessarily agree with the block, but I have just stated that and let it go. On the other hand, I have even felt that someone's post was harmful and found out there could be another interpretation or perfectly acceptable explanation of a post I felt was dangerous. (Usually, containing comments about suicide.) Sometimes there is an explanation or comment that presents the "thought" in a light that I had never considered.
Your post could be used to support what I said! If it's tough for us to determine what someone else did wrong, how can we predict what we're saying isn't going to be misunderstood or misinterpreted? And how will blocking us for an even longer period of time teach us a lesson or even keep this from happening again with another poster or ourselves? And how does it help support us when we need it, especially when our intentions weren't to cause others harm?
> I wonder if you have some particular event or person in mind that is making you curious and hopeful about changing the system.
Yes. All the people who fit that description.
