It's of course always nice to be thanked, but I was not providing input for the FAQs. I was asking a question about whether assessments by you of "patterns of behavior" will be used to lengthen or shorten blocks (or both).
This is something many posters need to know in order to decide how active they wish to be here. Not answering this civil question, and thanking me instead for something I did't do appears to fall into a familiar pattern of deflecting attention away from matters about which we should be fully informed. The outcome of just this small exchange between us is that I feel that I have been treated very disrespectfully ( I am apparently not smart enough to realize that my question has been ignored). I am experiencing the feelings of stress which Solstive recently described as being so common here now, as well as an increased awareness of how unsafe and misunderstood one can feel in the simplest exchanges here.
If one looks through the Archives, we can find this pattern repeated many hundreds of times: a question is asked in good faith, and an unrelated answer or statement is given. It is stressful every time it happens.
I would like to be treated in a way that avoids communicative stress and promotes the development of a healthy well-informed community, so I will ask my question again: does adding "behavioral assessment" mean that blocks may be lengthened, shortened or both?
