I can't see that Zen has *ever* done anything to excuse her long blocks. Zen is nevr nasty to other posters, she is just critical of the way PB is run.
BUT.. there was another poster, I believe still sitting out a long block, that had a very very bad effect on me. This person, lets call them X, would be blocked, return, be blocked, return.. I was being emailed off PB by X threatening me with legal action for the slightest thing I said about them ( legal action that would have resulted in me being unable to visit the US.. a country I love to visit), and generally upsetting me. If X had been allowed to return every two weeks, I would have ended up in a bad state. One, I would have had to leave PB for good, which is one thing I really don't want to have to do. Two, I think I would have done my self serious damage due to the upset this was causing me.
I think blocks for critising the system are stupid, but long blocks to protect babblers themselves are called for.
Just my two penneth!
