We do not think that widespread use of this tool is a productive way to actually resolve conflict.
The premise here -- that blocking users on GitHub is about "conflict" or "resolving conflict" -- is fundamentally flawed. Blocking users on GitHub is simply the last line of defense that targets of disrespect, disruption, disinformation, and abuse have against the harmful actions of perpetrators. > If the blocker does not cooperate, the committee may decide that proper discussion on their Pull Requests and Issues is not feasible, and request that the release manager not merge any of their Pull Requests until the block is lifted. Adding such language to the CoC -- which effectively intimidates the targets of misconduct who use GitHub blocking as their last defense -- would be incredibly harmful. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "sage-devel" group.
