i don't understand insisting that a person grovel in order to get a block lifted rd 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 rd 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
