Okay I can accept that - that everyone has their issues.
>>>>>I don't think it necessarily is...
So even though it was an example of "good thinking", and that you don't think pressuring "is necessarily the same thing" as making a suggestion multiple times, we *are* gonna be left with the "Pressuring" rule relying on what I said before... an arbitrary judgement of tone and/or a quantification of how many times posters may mention a subject within a thread, without a receivee needing to give any public sign that they are not interested in exchanging questions/answers/suggestions/debating.....
Okay. Definately you're call.
Though if you're gonna be handing out PBC's or Blocks through generating personal opinions about the tone of posters words [which is different than a PBC resulting from language or sentence structure - closer to a character judgement then anything else, I think] then I'll just advise you to watch out for countertransferance, and leave it at that.
I may not agree with it, but thank you for answering my posts in this thread, and clarifying the level of predictability another rule will have.
done with this one - i think :)
peace, El
