Dr Bob I didn't and don't understand this block. I attempted to clarify. I attempted to rephrase. I believe that I fulfilled the requirements for that on the special conditions.
Also according to the block I was "uncivil" apparently towards an adjective describing a thread not an individual or group so I would appreciate an explanation of this consideration also.
I've often disagreed with you but have tried very hard to do so under the guidelines you put in place.
I believe the board would profit if posters who are blocked understand why and are given a chance to rephrase.
I don't dislike you or think you are a bad person. I am sincere in my wish to repect your posting guidelines. I would like to understand them.
Thanks.
