yeah. The application of blocks is becoming seemingly even more arbitrary and capricious than ever. But as Dinah says that there's no arguing with Bob on settled points of long-standing, especially unless you've got some new idea about it-- and if there's one thing we've contested with Bob, it's his policy on blocking-- I think it's really something that we should simply accept and try to accommodate.
I personally find his blocks unfair-- and often out of kilter and not balanced-- but I just don't think that getting upset about it to the point of arguing with Bob will do anything other than further agitate and anger me.
I would hate to see twinleaf get blocked. Which she won't since she retracted her comment. Should she or ron have had to retrace or apologize? IMO no -- but it's not my board.
I hope twinleaf stays because her presence here means a lot to other people on pbabble, and I hope we are the ones she's here for. It would be great if she would reconsider and not leave-- and work on keeping away from admin-- or being very circumspect here.
I feel the same way about ron. I 've liked his contributions a lot and hate to see him blocked or gone.
So all I can say too is "sigh"--
