It's really complicated, and you probably wouldn't change anything if I explained it anyways. </p><p>It's nothing personal against you or anything. </p>

My earlier vote is no longer in sync with the petition I at first started to prove a point then grew to see the actual point in. Yes to all.

<p>Voting more out of respect for some people: </p><p>1) Neutral </p><p>2) Keep blocked </p><p>3) Unblock </p><p>4) Neutral </p><p>I doubt 1 and 4 will be used in a responsible manner if they are unblocked </p>

<p>I don't see a point in using those words, none of them add to conversation. So I vote no for all. </p>
