Childish?? I don't want to repeat what Glenn said to me at this point, it's just too terrible. In my country, such insults would rightly be prosecuted.

You make a fair point. And perhaps there is too much taunting and poking the bear, so to speak. But there are other factors in play here. 1) such posts are done playfully and ironically, because some people stick their nose in and go off topic so often, hurling cuss words and political rants and views that many of us do not wish to see. 2) If we block this person, we are still forced to see that persons posts. We can avert our eyes or skim or look away, but it's still shoved in our face. Paying supporters of this website are not heard. Block is a joke, and maybe 5% as effective as in os and sl. Many of us bite our tongues and take the high road, and the pacifist approach has proven to be entirely ineffective here on osw. Until satyr hears us and makes block more effective, some will continue to walk away and stop supporting the site, some will continue praying for a website to come around with moderation and or more effective blocking, and some of us will continue to lace up our boxing gloves and throw hands with the bullies. Freedom of speech is important; but freedom of peace and positivity is also quite important to some of us.
