I have been here for 6 years, and I've been in the news threads when they literally first started. I'm not going away because of a bully. You're free to make it plain to others that you're not here for well reasoned debate and discussion, people who present that get blocked. This site's whole set up is premised on 'we don't downvote, we post why and how we disagree.' Are we throwing that out too?

And you're free to use the disengage rule. You've never used it in the past, but I take the fit you're throwing to be an effort at it now.

    I continue to critique things I think are worthy of criticism. I will not make malicious or uncharitable criticisms after discussing with mods and admins seeking effective communication guidelines. I promise that moving forward and seek to keep it. But a block is not a two way button. They're free to block me if they don't want to see my criticisms, and fair. I will not openly criticize that any further. Anyone who wants further details can go see the appealed mod action in the meta community.

    This is, however, a discreet instance of disagreement on a matter I'm entitled to disagree on. The circus and silent wave of resentment isn't doing us any favors. I'd appreciate y'all not to reduce all criticism to interpersonal issues and have a more robust conversation sometime.
