> This was my entire point from the beginning but ya'll word it much better. Re: Larry's block~ 6 weeks is BS. Re: Muffled and the word f*rt~BS for even a week but yes, a week is USUALLY enough time for the majority of posters here and these blocks cause more harm than good. IMO..now I'm saying bye. ;-)
I agree, and unfortunately as well, it seems to me very much like the blocks are a reinforcement of DB's power. Which is considerable, if you give it to him. Which we have. We have. And he uses it, oh yes, in the name of civility .. or that's what a person would think, who didn't understand. I'm sure there are good reasons, at the time, why someone thinks a block is a good idea .. something besides the thrill of the hunt, the power that's given to them when they can say, no, I disagree with what you've said, and I'm going to prove how bad you are for everyone, now, by blocking you. It's completely subjective. Unless it's put before a committee. Is it?
