I know that.
> I hadn't realized people didn't understand that.It can be pretty scary to think that another person has power over you, such as the power to block you. If authority figures have abused their authority in the past then it can be especially scary. Some people... Post not so nice things to Bob. Sometimes it seems to be about... Their not liking him having the power to block them. Jokes and stuff like that can be one way of undermining some of that power so the person can better cope with it. At least... Maybe some of that goes on. I'm not sure really. Making stuff up as I go along.
