FWIW I do agree that I was making the zero-point mistake in the blocking discussion (although I think at the time I was also annoyed that you weren’t listing the things that were salient side-effects of blocking in your posts explaining why you blocked)
I sometimes exhibit the vice of, uh, responding to someone else’s perceived zero-point setting by not bringing it into the explicit text of the conversation, and just … zero-pointing harder in the opposite direction.
Working on doing that less, at least with people with whom I have any sort of enduring relationship at all.
