Dr. Bob, that is not past practice AT ALL.
You have told people that the harassment rule has been lifted. Perhaps because asking someont to DNP with harassment as a requirement would not be exactly civil, would it? Nor would proving that harassment has occurred. Which would actually be against the rules anyway, wouldn't it? I'm sure there was something in the FAQ about pressuring or harassing people as being not allowed.
And in the past, people have asked not to be posted to, other posters have been blocked for not obeying, and no one has had to prove harassment at all.
If you are going to reverse this policy, I think some people deserve retroactive unblockings and free passes for their next blocks.
How could it be mutual unless both parties simultaneously posted a DNP? If there's tension building between two posters, even if one poster is perhaps unaware of it, you have in the past upheld DNP's.
