“ I've email-blocked Dr B because life's just too short. I don't think that's a good outcome and possibly the fault is with me.”
Don’t worry yourself too much; I’m pretty sure DJB has email-blocked me :) “Everyone has the right to speak, but being listened to is a privilege you have to earn and is easy to lose.” Agreed and to follow up on my prior comment (speaking, first, in generic favor of free speech value): I don’t think repeated abusive messages, blatant abuse of process, nor the directed, personal attacks have any place anywhere. My deep appreciation for the moderators who have to read, engage with, and decide how to process (i.e. wade through toxic waste) each message.
