I dont believe I "threatened" anyone with block and ban, I did suggest if that was what people where after to protect their privacy they take the time to post here on the matter to raise the profile of their concerns and we would look at that avenue in the event there was a major backlash against the idea and discussions failed or the users felt their concerns ignored, I made it clear in my post that users should discuss their concerns in the first instance.
The world is full of critics regardless of what is planned here and we often have more information available to us than is made public, please bear this in mind before condeming us for watching over other folks privacy concerns.
I stand by any action to protect users whether this be their privacy or their right to come here and moan in a non abusive manner, if folks come here with pre-conceived ideas regarding our views we cannot be responsible for that, judge us by what we acheive and the effort we put into it, judge us also by our failures, but please try never to judge us for listening to the users as they are the whole reason this forum is here and continues to exist.
