And I would add, there is a slight tone of over "political correctness" for a lack of words. Sure, there are people who are "fragile" on here -- but while this is a safe harbour for people to come to, there also is the real world out there, and to have PBCs for every little detail that someone is hurt, is going a bit far.
Another addition -- how about, and some scripting would have to be changed, but for people who are blocked, who are in need of help but say it in the wrong way, how about another message board with a warning that you have to click past ( e.g. "This board contains possible dirty language and might be harmful to your feelings"), that has posts from people who are blocked.Nobody has to read those sections, but people who are sympathetic to those who are hurting who are blocked, and can stomach some flack and flying *** from someone with a foul mouth, can talk to those people there.
I would call it "Uncivility" or "Blockedland" or something -- I don't know, I'm just coming up with silly titles, but I think that would be one idea for those who are blocked from everything else.
Yes, I know there is babblemail and all that, but sometimes a forum is useful.
