I don't feel trapped :-)
As best I understand the guidelines, it doesn't matter how "language that could offend others" is used in Babble posts. Dr. Bob just asks posters not to use it, based on Merriam-Webster's classification of such words as usually, "vulgar, disparaging, offensive" and so forth.
That's all really. Whether *I* agree with anything written didn't even factor into my administrative action. At all. It never does, or I would be unable to act as a deputy. In fact, I just skimmed the writing, as I was responding to a report from a poster who was concerned about the contents of the link.
That the poster is blocked, I see as a predictable and expected consequence of continuing to choose not to follow the civility guidelines. I know you and likely others, attach other meaning to blocks and warnings here, as is surely your right. I hope ron returns after his block and posts about this or other topics, finding a way to do so within the guidelines.
