> Hey...are you talking about me?
No, I'm talking to you. Trying to explain why Dr Bob can't take how someone is going to respond to a block into account in deciding whether they should be blocked or not. If he did that it would have disasterous consequences for the boards.
> My p-doc told me being blocked is like going to jail for shoplifting...it doesn't matter why I did the crime or who I am, I still have to go to jail no matter what.
Yeah. Though you can try to explain things via email. I think that generally tends to help more with understanding why rather than changing the situation, though.
> I just wish I could do more to ensure Larry makes it through this time.Yeah. We can only do what we can.
>I just wish there was a better way to punish people without blocking them.
Yeah. Me too. I can't think of what though.
