Hey. Yeah, I hear you that the archives (and even the present threads) can be daunting and it can be hard to extract the information that one wants. I guess thats how come the same questions keep coming up on the meds board too.
I think this question is particularly hard for people to answer, though. Posters that do want to get blocked probably are blocked hence can't answer. Sometimes people say a little about why they are doing what they are doing before / while they are doing it, though. Or sometimes they say something about it after their block is up, or sometimes other posters report what the poster said to them in off board communication.

I think that is a reason that others have expressed, too. I guess... I feel that there is a benefit to some laws. I do (personally) see the value in being civil to others and in their being social sanctions for incivility. Precisely what constitutes incivility and precisely what the sanctions should be is a matter of great controversy, however...
