Just a quickie as I don't have the time or energy today.
But. When I "joined" PB, about 5, maybe nearly 6, years ago, there were no rules. there were no blocks, and little telling off.
But, the rules and blocks had to be bought in because come people were acting like the were primary schoolers.
if blocks were removed, this place would degenerate into what it was once heading to. And thatw as not nice. People here, who haven't been around as long as some people, claim to have read back, but I don't see how anyone could read 6 years worth of posts, and understand the feelings the were aroused at the time of those postings.
This board wasn't "born" with the rules in place, the rules have come around because of the behaviour of posters.
