I agree with Tamara. Toph's statements may have fallen outside of Dr. Bob's civility guidelines but I think the guidelines are too rigid to begin with. I understand the need for civility rules but the doubling and tripling of posts as time goes on is absurd. It causes good people who have committed minor offenses to be banned for really long periods of time and then they leave the forum for good. The block length should match the severity of the crime. We don't give those who commit a petty theft the same amount of punishment that we give a murderer but that's exactly what the current system does here. I certainly hope Toph comes back after his vacation. It would be yet another huge loss for Babble if he doesn't.
