Please don't jump to conclusions about others or post anything that could lead them to feel accused or put down.
But please don't take this personally, either, this doesn't mean I don't like you or think you're a bad person, and I'm sorry if this hurts you.
I do hope that you choose to remain a member of this community and that members of this community help you, if needed, to avoid future blocks. If you want to be proactive, you could ask another poster to be your civility buddy:

http://www.dr-bob.org/babble/faq.html#enforceMedamorphosis, I'm also sorry if you felt hurt.
Follow-ups regarding these issues should be redirected to Psycho-Babble Administration. They, as well as replies to the above post, should of course themselves be civil.
Thanks,
Bob

http://www.dr-bob.org/babble/faq.html#enforce
takes into account how long the previous block was, how long it's been since the previous block, and how uncivil the current post is:
duration of previous block: 2 weeks
period of time since previous block: 91 weeks
severity: 2 (default) + 1 (uncivil toward particular individual) = 3
block length = 1.36 rounded = 1 weeka brilliant and reticent Web mastermind -- The New York Times
