I am a relative newcomer here and generally prefer to stay out of matters like this until I get the "sense" of a board. But in reading the thread that led to this block I really find myself shaking my head. Blocking seems a reasonable thing for someone who is being truly offensive and/or hurting other people, but when I read about the block I went "looking for it" and discovered to my surprise it was a post I had already read and did not even bat an eye at (i.e. it does not even seem to merit a PBC).
I realize that being the admin of a board is a thankless job and you really "can't win" (look at what got levelled at Jay for leaning in the opposite direction), but this one (IMHO) seems to step in the direction of having a "chilling" effect.
