I really don't know any way around that other than perhaps to email Dr. Bob privately or to directly ask the poster to stop.

I suspect that Dr. Bob viewed the option that a person might not care whether the behavior hurts others as being likely to lead to anyone who exhibits that behavior possibly feeling put down as "uncaring".
I think that part was pretty clear, but Minnie was also wondering why she got a block after only one P.B.C, one which had been on a completely different topic. From what I've seen here that is unusual, usually you get at least 3 p.b.c's before you get blocked.
