I don't understand insisting that a person grovel in order to get a block lifted.  Rd232 suggests that Epeefleche is "put off" from understanding what WP:CANVAS means because he is distracted by others' comments. The idea that because the "behaviour" is not detectable, the editor will necessarily repeat it unless there is  a "declaration" to demonstrate "understanding" before offering the second chance doesn't assume good faith & on the contrary implies a rather low opinion of Epeefleche's intelligence.  Rd232 may not have meant it in this way, but it can be easily interpreted this way.  By the same token, it is possible to interpret Epeefleche's behavior in both a negative and a more positive way.  Snottywong's rationale for not unblocking Epeefleche is that it would 'reward' him for being 'unresponsive', as if he were some Pavlovian dog.  172.129.7.50
