I don't think you should get blocked for what you said.
I think your intention was clear.
And it was good.

I'm just trying to point out that it is analogous to what I said...

I don't think I should have gotten blocked for what I said.
I think my intention was clear.
And it was good.

I wasn't trying to be supportive exactly...
But I certainly wasn't trying to be unsupportive.

I wasn't trying to advocate that you get blocked...
I was trying to point out that if you don't think you should get blocked...
Then to be consistent you shouldn't think I should have been blocked either...

When Scambuster was here he was pointing out a few things that people didn't like. He didn't exactly point them out in a way that was easy to take... But people moved on in and (the way it seemed to me) Tried to get him tied in verbal knots tried to get him to step out of line so he would be blocked. So he would stop saying those things. So he would be silenced.

And I perceived the same thing to be happening with me. People trying to get me to be silent. Giving me warnings aka 'you better shut up or you are going to be blocked for a long time'.

Nobody was supportive to me
Nobody was supportive to my pain
They were more interested in getting me labeled as uncivil
They were more interested in getting me blocked
They were more interested in getting me to shut up.

And that is my perception.
And my perception may have been out of kilter...
And maybe it was...
But if it was... It was because I was so very upset.
I was so very upset.

And so there is your hurt...
And there is my hurt...

But IMHO what one must really worry about...

Is deputies acting from their hurt
Because they have the power to
Whereas posters acting from their hurt
Get blocked.

I don't think people should be blocked.
But IMHO
Deputies need to know about people hurting...
And how to support them to deescalate the situation
And if a deputy moves in and labels incivilities...
And escalates the situation to a block to silence the other person then IMHO that is an abuse of power..

And I don't know what went on
My perceptions are screwey 'cause I was hurting

But you live you learn etc.
