Hmm. I guess I just think about how someone is likely to feel in response - and there phrasing can make a whole heap of difference.
It mightn't seem that way to the writer
But it can to the person the post is directed to.
I see the guidelines rules whatever as a way of preventing the situation from unnecessarily escalating.But I have heard a fair few people express your sentiments about the strictness with which they can be applied at times... and the length of the blocks that can result from fairly 'minor' missteps.
I haven't been around long enough, perhaps...
