and obviously so. But as for that general point in the OP (not that particular example), I must confess to feeling the block from group function has been used a bit too much.

and encouraged to chat pm and the hosts will unblock. so, every person on block are doing it willingly. and second, i have made comments in the mens forum, done it respectfully, and have not gained a block. not because they are any less trigger finger, but because we generally walk in trying to be respectful of their group.

a difference.

It's pretty clear to me that HOF is a thorn for many posters, I have no idea why ( since no one is forcing them to post or read here ) but it's an ongoing issue.

Posters that do not want to honestly contribute and come in here to nit-pick articles or cherry pick our posts have no business in here.

Just my opinion.

FWIW I don't have an issue with any blocks. Plenty of opportunity to have our discussions derailed, our words twisted, etc. on GD and elsewhere. I like having a place without all that.

The people that have shown me the most kindness and respect since I started on this site are part of this group. That's even when I may have misunderstood something seabeyond especially is always good about providing links to read and understand debates better but I've never been name called for having a misunderstanding or different point.
