> I guess I'm just thinking that people may be in a fragile state that makes them more vulnerable to taking being blocked personally, and as a result, choosing not to come back. I also think that babblers' vulnerability and unstable state of mind may be one reason for people being uncivil(under your interpretation). But I also realize that this vulnerability factor is a reason why you have such strict guidelines, as you want to protect the members here. Maybe there is a bit of a "catch 22" going on here. It makes sense that protecting the majority of members that are civil takes priority here. Still, I feel there could be some measures taken to at least change the way the civility guidelines are enforced here, but I think you are considering this already.
Exactly.
