Jakeman did not deserve his block on the political board. History has frequently proven his statement true as do current events every day.
I would like to see a loosening up on broad statements such a Jakeman's (and mine on the dragging by the arms behind a Jeep, decapitating terrorists) and concentrate on specific incivilities which might be truly offensive.
I doubt too many terrorists or politians frequent babble, however, if one should, what would be wrong with letting him know killing and lying (and/or screwing taxpayers out of money, or incorrupt behavior in general) is not a good idea? How does this differ from my telling a poster directly to terminate a seemingly abusive relationship? Would the abuser not find this uncivil of me? The cessation of any of these mentioned behaviors ultimately benefits society; is Jakeman's block in fact, a case of reverse descrimination towards a poster by the bobster?
Blocking Jakeman for what he said is not providing him with support and encouragement, neither is forced political correctness. In the back and forth of conversation without his block, Jakeman could have conceivably been educated civily by a poster holding a differing opinion (should one exist.)
I beseech you to rescind the blockage of Jakeman on the gounds that I find the use of reverse descrimination against him, in itself, uncivil, unjust, unfair, undeserved, and unflattering.
The defense rests.
