I was going to start a thread on this, but Wendy beat me to it.
IMO, Bob, you can go a long way to restoring peace on the boards by backing off on the routine blocking (that seems to have increased lately) and really coming down on the purely egregrious junk like this.
I think that an indefinite number of PBCs to good people would make the general atmosphere feel more safe, as well as giving the uncivil but well-meaning posters a chance to learn.
I strongly believe that blocking should be reserved for harmful posters, such as this, and for truly disruptive acting out.
And it certainly the length of the block should be consistent.
I don't know if you're aware of how badly people need consistency. I'd really appreciate it if you became more sensitive to this need.
Thanks,
Zo
