I am very heartened to hear that you don't intend it to be unexpected, or that your implying that they meant to harm others...(but then WHY the block????)
But does that mean you DO intend to have shock and hurt?
You DO understand that blocks cause pain? YOU DO????
THEN WHY DO YOU BLOCK OVER THE SILLIEST THINGS (IMO anyways)sometimes???????? Where there is not likely to be any large amt of hurt as a result of the post? When a pbc would clear things up just fine?
You CREATE hurt where there was NONE, when you block in these circumstances. There may be a possibility of hurt, MAYBE. But with the block, there is GUARANTEED hurt.
You blocked me over f*rt for crying out loud. For overriding the asterisk over F*RT?????? I was hurting NOONE. I was having a human moment in as undamaging way as I could...
You hurt me. I seriously doubt anyone was offended or hurt by it.
That is just an example.
So mebbe you can think to yourself, weigh the pain as it were, BEFORE you jump on a block.
That being said, I think overall there have been less blocks, I know i have screwed up at least once and it was let slide....
I dunno you from squat. I am trying to beleive that you DO actually care, but mebbe for all your education, you miss the point on some of this interpersonal stuff.
I'd like to think your a nice person.
So excuse me if I have offended you.
But I feel like a lab rat.
So just as a matter of interest, meaning no harm to anyone, and not thumbing my nose at your asterisk system,
but, f art.
Hmmmmm. Red flag in front of a bull?
Do YOU feel like a lab rat now????
Hmmmmmm.
