He had been helped to avoid a block before, so that approach might have worked this time, too. Or, I'm sure you all could do better, but just as an example, what about something like:> > Verne, I'm worried that Dr. Bob isn't going to like what you just posted. I care about you, and you're important to this community. Maybe being blocked doesn't bother you, but would you consider apologizing for my sake? I feel sad and traumatized every time he blocks one of us.

Bob,He was blocked 1 hour and 7 minutes after his posted. I did not see Verne's post until a few days later, and personally, I can't
be here all the time as I'm a mom with real life duties.Are you saying that we should have tried to get him to rephrase/apologize within an hour of his post...before getting blocked?
An hour is not much time...what if he needed to log off from his computer to deal with his real life for the day?I don't recall seeing a post where he was helped to avoid a block (if it's not too much trouble, I'd like to see the link) , but I've
seen babblers get pbc'd and blocked while trying to help...Also, does his 52 week block start from 6/16 or 7/6?

p.s. I don't hate you...never have.
