That's already what I do:

Sorry, I thought you meant a spreadsheet that would determine whether someone should be blocked.
> Once you've made the decision to PBC or block and gone to the trouble of posting it, why not take it a step further and note the information in Excel? I think you might be surprised at the number of people that receive repeated warnings but nary a block while others do not seem to benefit from such leniency... Allow those of us who care to discourse in an adult manner the time to come to a conclusion or agree to disagree
I do note the information. But more leniency for individuals isn't always better for the group. And it can be highly flammable here, so there isn't always time.
> *exactly* why am I not angry at you anymore when I read the Admin board? I think it's because I am happier and not in as much physical and emotional pain.
That makes sense. I do think if everyone were in less pain, there would be less conflict. :-)
