> What if someone is just so sad. They post something that is "uncivil" because they are sad. Would blocking that person throw him/her over the edge?
If you don't block them then 'I'm sad' could become an excuse for getting out of blocks. Who is to judge whether someone really is sad or whether they are just saying they are to get out of a block? I wouldn't like to make that call...Besides which...
I really don't think there is any excuse for attacking others. Explanations, sure. But no excuse.
Thats what sucks about having a mental illness...
Sometimes our control of our behaviour can be a bit variable...
But we still have to accept the consequences of our behaviour whether we 'felt sad' or 'felt mad' or whatever.
