I agree, it can be very tricky, and it's safer to use the notification button. As I mentioned to Scott, the downside is that it doesn't help other posters avoid blocks.

Group members sometimes learn from their leader. Yes, I consistently apologize to posters who may be hurt by my actions. I have the last dozen times, anyway.

Still, as I mentioned to twinleaf, the role of the administrators here isn't to be supportive, at least not directly. But I can understand the wish to be supported by us.

I do think it might help people with emotional illnesses to have an environment where they don't feel put down...
