I think intent should be considered a lot more than Dr. Bob thinks it should. Sometimes intent is clear in that someone doesn't intend to break the civility rules and is trying to comply, and I think every chance ought to be given to that person to comply. Even if it takes a few tries. And even if Dr. Bob needs to assign someone to help the person comply because he doesn't have time.
I also, personally, would give provocation more wait as a mitigating factor. Which has nothing to do with Estella's case, but is just a general sanction theory of mine.
On the other hand, sometimes intent is explicitly (never mind implicitly) stated, and Dr. Bob appears not to notice.
