> I mean that if posters don't choose to post anything I choose to consider uncivil, then I'll cut all blocks in half.
*wwaaaagggghh???? But HOW can posters choose something they don't know??? I don't UNDERSTAND some of the things you consider uncivil.
What if I just have a bad frikken day full of triggers and screw up? Bob, you sure love to keep slapping the block responsibility onto others...
Besides, this comes across as a crap bandaid fix to try and make yourself look good or something. What will this actually PROVE??? You are just making yet another random unpreditable confusing out of the blue change here.
> If shortening blocks is just a giving people a lollipop, then does that mean lengthening blocks is just taking away a lollipop?*No, its slapping them upside the head and ostracizing them for longer. You just don't get it Bob...
> Feeling it's important doesn't always get people what they want, either.*OMG Bob, you are making me (more) insane?!
You missed the point again. I was trying to get you to see that if people feel THAT strongly about something, then maybe you ought to consider there is a valid reason they feel that way. You didn't consider it over the tweet thing, you just barged ahead.
You can't always get what you want, but it might be nice if we here could get more what we need, and thats more predictability and safety.> Why does it have to be unconditional? What if posters were civil as a show of good faith and saw if that had a positive effect? :-)
*Cuz maybe it would show some friggin respect for the posters if it was unconditional. Maybe you could say, ya, I've screwed up some and I am making a one time concession here while I think bout things.
Do you not see that you are putting MORE pressure on posters with the ultimatum??????
Now its not just, if you screw up, your banished, now its if you screw up your banished and you've screwed your friends over too....
Nice one Bob.....
