How could Racer be responsible for Dr. Bob's decisions about PBCing or blocking her? Please don't hold against her what's the responsibility of another.
Racer can only work from her understanding of Dr Bob's policies, her knowledge and critical thinking skills in assessing posts, and her heart. And she's doing a bang-up job in difficult circumstances. I'd sure hate to see anyone make those circumstances more difficult because of their feelings about someone else.

I think the question WWBD? might be answered by looking at WDBD in the past.
> How could Racer be responsible for Dr. Bob's decisions about PBCing or blocking her? Please don't hold against her what's the responsibility of another.I'm not holding it against her! What a thought! I thought the actions of Bob towards her were compassionate and I'm encouraging the widespread adoption of those standards for everyone:)

> Racer can only work from her understanding of Dr Bob's policies,Personal experience is an excellent source or understanding don't you think? That was all I was saying.
Thanks for your thoughts gg.

As KK pointed out, the rule is that answering a PBC with more of the behavior which led to the PBC results in a block.
As GG pointed out, it was always Dr Bob's decision about whether or not to block me. I resent your repeatedly bringing it up as though I was the one responsible for whether or not I was blocked.
I am trying to do my best as a deputy. I don't make the rules, and I try to interpret them in favor of the posters here. However, I believe that having the rules we have here protect the people who post here, and will therefore continue to do my best to enforce them. I will do this because I believe it is for the good of the community as a whole. If anyone thinks that's wrong, well, we're all entitled to our own beliefs.
We're just not always entitled to express them the way we might want to.

Rayww was NOT responsible for being blocked for six weeks either. You were responsible in the same way bob was responsible for your lack of blocks.

In reply to Who was responsible for rayww's block » Racer, posted by zazenducke on April 26, 2007, at 14:13:17
I would respectfully suggest that concerns regarding preferential treatment by or of deputies or differential treatment of posters be addressed directly to Dr. Bob. Publicly debating subjective beliefs of this nature will almost always lead to hurt feelings and uncivil comments.
But, again, that's just my opinion.

So, we have your adam's apple.
And back then you were wondering whether to marry Prince William.
I shall continue to pay attention.

Not if Z cares about Ray.

Thanks for explaining Mel.
Does it matter to you whether people think you are male or female? I think you are female? But when I first saw your name I wasn't sure because I usually think of Mel as a man's name.
I don't think it does matter to me. But I try to honour the preferences of others if they have any.

i have a very good friend (who dodges me at every chance, go figure???) named Mel (did i just capitolize (or is it capitalize?) something?), short for melinda.
but, in indiana, we aren't too keen on words with more than one syllable either. (hence my nickname, 2 letters)

Yes I suppose many were clued in by the Auntie but I didnt want to jump to conclusions or miss out on some delightful bit of whimsy.
I hope all is well in Indiana

Actually I don't much care about a person's gender - at least not here. Purely by chance I happened to know this one.
As for mine? Go by the "Auntie" part, not the Mel.

"Aunty Jack" was a show here in the 70s.
Aunty Jack's signature line was 'I'll rip your bloody arms off'.

Ray is totally responsible, there were many warnings.

To the administration,
In response to what can be posted, I do not think that rayww's statement in question merited a block.
I would like to email concerning this if one would like.

> > My faith tells me that God is faithful and true to His word, as hard as that is to hear. If that offends, what is worse? To be offended by God and block Him so He can't offend again? Or to pay attention? I absolutely guarantee that the reason for the world's problems is that man has turned his back on God, and blocked him from their life because they didn't like Him telling them what they should do. You cannot block God without Satan rushing in to take over, and Satan's only aim is to create sin that leads to misery and death.

I understand that you believe pornography is wrong, however this may not be the place to express that. Additionally, while your belief system may lead you to believe that the problems of the world are caused in this manner, that belief system is not shared by everyone here, and those with other belief systems may also feel accused or put down by this post.
