Two-part question:

1) Should we allow proposals to be blocked?
2) If yes, how do we handle the blocks?

A block vote is not a decree. I think it is an expression. Blocks should be an invitation to more discussion. Let people talk and decide what is really going on with a block as a block comes up. If people want to ignore a block, I guess they can. :)

I'm okay as long as blocks are not used as vetos.

Of course we should. If a problem with that appears, we will solve it a this time, but right now, why shouldn't we accept block vote ?

We agree that a block is not considered a veto. Closed Sun 16 Sep 2012 7:45AM

This proposal is just to give air to some things people said in the previous proposal. Let's just be explicit about it?

How about this:

In our community, when a block is used it is not considered a veto. Anyone should feel free to use a block, but also prepared to explain oneself for making one.

Making blocks solely to thwart discussion from moving forward is not appreciated, so please be judicious if you decide to use a block.

Blocks are intended to encourage further discussion, to spend more time examining arguments, or to invite persuasion.
