Said’s way of asking questions, and the uncharitable assumptions he sometimes makes, is one of the most off-putting things I associate with LW. I don’t find it okay myself, but it seems like the sort of thing that’s hard to pin down with legible rules. Like, if he were to ask me “what is it that you don’t like, exactly” – I feel like it’s hard to pin down.
Edit: So, on the topic of moderation policy, seems like the option that individual users can ban specific other users if they have trouble dealing with their style or just if conflicts happen, that seems like a good solution to me. And I don’t think it should reflect poorly on the banner (unless they ban an extraordinary number of other users).
