> I uphold the rules and FAQs as stated. It has nothing to do with whether I took the post as a personal critique; I felt that the block was in keeping with applying the civility standards appropriately. That is what civility is all about, to me. To make certain that the standards are applied fairly and equally.
So it is a matter of principle?
Please point me to the relevant section of the FAQ's that says that if you critique a policy or ideal then that is against the rules of the forum because people who believe in the policy / ideal might feel accused or put down.
Did you see the block coming for that phrasing before it came?
Or are you trying to see the sense after the fact?
I'm real unclear on whether my error was the (fairly much a typo)use of the term 'people' rather than policy... (In which case I'd like to see the relevant section of the FAQ's where that is considered unaccceptable.
Or if it is that you can't critique an ideal / policy then where does it say that in the FAQ? I said that a couple times earlier up the thread and didn't get a PBC / blocking for the times I used the term 'policy' rather than 'people'.
But maybe the point is that the case seems analogous to my last political blocking...
Well... I'm not seeing the sense there either...
I am not.
But is it just a matter of consistency, do you think?
Or perhaps there is the greater project of changing my 'pervasive posting style'.
