I agree that it is good to block people for saying things that are likely to have others feeling accused or put down.
I don't agree that what was said was likely to have others feel accused or put down.
If others did feel accused or put down then I think that would indicate that they took what was said overly personally rather than indicating that what was said was inappropriate.
If someone felt accused or put down by what was said they could have posted something to that effect.
If they had done that then how do you think the poster who was blocked would have responded to that.
It is true that rational people can disagree...
But if they end up endorsing claims that are logically incompatible then (unless paraconsistent logics are true) they cannot both be right.> I just hope she didn't take it personally...
What are blocks about?
I thought they were about protecting the community from comments that are likely to have others feel accused / put down.
Should the blocked poster not take it personally that they were blocked...
While other people are considered entitled in taking what the poster said personally...
Where is the consistency here?
