> 1) am i supposed to ignore someone who's been blocked?
It's up to you. But see below regarding subsequent posts...
> 2) why were these posts raptured off the boards while other "uncivil" posts by blocked members (the same member in this case) are still viewable?
The first time someone posts while blocked, I'll usually leave the post so I can respond to it. But I'll usually delete ones after that. Since if I left them, too, it wouldn't be much of a block.
BTW, when people are blocked, they're not supposed to post even if what they have to say is civil.
> i'm not saying that i disagree with the blocks in any way, am not trying to be smart or question policy.
OK, but it's fine to question, and even to disagree with, policy...
> i am also concerned because when it happens thusly, subsequent posts (mine, in this case) appear out of context and, i feel, paint an incomplete picture of the evolution of the exchange.
Right, for that reason I usually delete responses, too. But I forgot in this case. But I've done it now.
