Seems like to error is to be human. We are not robots that can be programed with morals and do what is right or wrong based on one person's ideals.
There will always be people who commit crimes, no matter how harsh the sentence it, it is human nature. But who are we to judge if it was a true crime, we don't always know the entire story. If a women steals food for her starving family, is that a crime? Some say yes and some say no due to circumstances. This is a site where a lot of people have suffered horrible stuff, but is seems like blocks don't help, just increase the anger of a lot of posters.
Do most prisoners become rehabilitated while serving their sentence? Nope, they just learn how to beat the system even better. Long blocks don't work, I for one can say so because I have been blocked many times. I can see both sides. People are people.
Kinda like is killing wrong? What about in war? Why aren't the soldiers prosecuted because of this, they still killed. Do the circumstances change the rules or morals?
I think forgiveness would be a better goal for this site, tolerance towards different types of people with different weaknesses. Because in real life you can't control if people use I statements, that is very unrealistic. To me blocking seems uncivil in it's self, punishing people for what can be a symptom of their mental illness.
