I agree. If you are blocking someone who has posted something uncivil, you quote at least part of the post that you are basing your decision on.
I really don't see this as a privacy issue. If someone is blocked and begins posting under another name to get around that, how is it different from posting something uncivil? Both are sanctionable. If you provide the details of the reason for sanction on one, why hide it for the latter?
And if someone changes their posting name, and notifies you per your procedure, they are not sanctionable, and thus, can maintain their privacy.
I think we have a right to know the poster's screen name when someone is circumventing the rules in this manner. As other's have said, it's information that may be vital to protecting yourself from hurt from further uncivil posts.
And frankly, if I were in Gabbi's position, I would not want to have to answer a boatload of Babblemails about the topic if I could just post it.
This could all be simply handled, Dr. Bob, if you would just post both screen names when extending a block for posting under another name.
