I don't like commenting on particular instances. But had I understood the situation with Brio after Katrina, I wouldn't have followed what I saw as my duty under site guidelines and blocked him. I do think there are instances when breaking site guidelines is understandable and should be overlooked, and Katrina is definitely one of them. I believe I expressed my regret at the time, and I regret it this long time after. Had I been able to undo it once I understood, I would have. I couldn't. Perhaps Katrina contributed to my own slow comprehension of the realities of the situation. I was distraught myself, and in fact stepped down as deputy for a while, if I remember correctly.
But also perhaps when certain things are expected from people, it's too easy to see those things in their behavior. I won't deny that I am human in that regard. And I'm glad that you see it is also possible for you. I have long thought you interpreted some of my posts in a manner I never meant them. I am not really all that clever in my posts. The most earnest and dull interpretation is likely the correct one. I suffer from scrupulousness in the OCD sense. My posts reflect that.
I will concede that the effect of the subconscious can't be discounted. However, yesterday my subconscious was innocent.
Thank you for your apology. I appreciate that.
