@dickturpin @lnxw48a1 I'll remind you of the arguments I've put forward:
1. It matters what the disagreement was about whether or not it can be considered "harassment".
2. Free speech absolutism is not a predictor of future tyrrany. In particular, community moderation is not something that leads to totalitarianism and censure (taking "censure" as "censorship", that is, the practise of the powers that be to check messages prior to publication)
3. The economics of blocking is not (currently) on the side of the harassed - abusers have repeatedly shown willingness to create new accounts to continue harassing after their original account has been blocked, or to take the harassment off-site out of spite for the crime of blocking.
