"When I was a kid and we fought in the back seat, my father could turn around and smack the (usually) right kid. All while going 75mph.
I had a teacher once. If anyone was talking while she was writing on the board, she could turn around and hurl a book - always hitting the right kid in the head.
It seems you used to do the cyber equivalent."
I suggest that this in not an accurate analogy. I believe posters may be sanctioned at random at first NOT because they violate more rules than anyone else just that they are RANDOMLY hit by the block. But the exponential increases have the effect of following the hit by the book with having the computer thrown at them next and then the desk and rendering them unconscious for a year.
I think the idea that some people "deserve" to be treated this way is in error.
I believe to suggest that Estella or Larry or Lou or ZenH or any other of the long term blockees deserved to be treated in this fashion is wrong.
But I am sure Bob appreciates the viewpoint of his deputies. That's probably why they're deputies. <grin> Why is it okay to insult male human beings (a post currently on the board) but preferring natural to supernatural reasoning is cause for a month long block?
I wanted to stand witness for those who've been hit by undeserved blocks.
I am addressing a post not any particular poster.
