Phoenix,

Thanks for your support. But it can be especially challenging to support a block in a civil way. Try to stick to I-statements. For example, instead of:

> I have to say that I feel that the discussion that got him blocked was offensive to me personally.
>
> I really like linkadge and his posts, but that one thread seemed out of line to me.

an alternative might be something like:

> I have to say that I personally felt offended by the discussion that got him blocked.
>
> I really like linkadge and his posts, but I disagree with how he phrased that one post.

For more about I-statements, see:

Thanks,

Bob
