What sickens me about this is the seeming lack of humanity.
It was so clear that Estella was trying to follow Bob's rules, I could feel the gears working.. "okay...bob doesn't want thinks to be judged negatively, but says I should focus on what I like.. maybe this will be okay"
She'd been so open about the hurt she'd felt from previous blocks.
It reminds me of a little kid trying to avoid a smack from an abusive parent.
Okay.. so it could have been phrased so that there was no judgement, whatever. I know that there have been similar "judgements" made without sanction. Whether or not I think there is actually harm in *gasp* the occasional judgement doesn't really matter. Generally one can read a judgement into someone's statement if it exists anyway, some people just find the loopholes more easily.
For some people this is really hard to get, it doesn't matter how intelligent one is.
What is this actually accomplishing?
