Using I statements is something you insist on, the public does not, in fact most people don't have any idea of what you are talking about. I think blocking people for these reason because their grammar style isn't like what you would prefer is based on discrimination of language. Using I statements rarely change the meaning of what one is writing.( most know what the poster wanted to say) I understand if blocks are for flaming people and being vulgar, but I believe the blocks for using I statements are over reactive, nit picky and really don't help the communtiy as a whole.
I consider myself fairly intelligent, and yet after 3 years on this site, I have really don't understand it completely. If this rule is the norm in cyber world, please show me other message boards that have this rule.
I believe blocking someone who has mental disorders, and that is the reason for their behavior, is discrimination of the mentally ill.
