Um, when I got here this morning I discovered that unbeknownst to me, I had blocked David. Could this have been done by the board w/o my knowledge?

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

Could this have been done by the board w/o my knowledge?

I don't know the code to answer for sure (although I'd be surprised), but I've accidentally blocked people several times because the "block" button is right next to "mark".

Unless you've got some subconscious thing going against Hec. Or the board does. Maybe he's the one who should be worried.

Well, I don't mark stuff all that often and I'm fairly certain I didn't mark anything yesterday or this morning.

I'd also allow for the possibility of just a random accidental finger twitch/mouse click while you were rolling the mouse pointer across the screen, that just happened to be the block link for David.

I accidentally click links all the time, and have, in fact, accidentally blocked people this way before.

I've done the same thing, quite frequently. The first time it happened I was a bit nonplused, but now I just go back and unblock. No big.

ita, if you're having difficulty getting a response from the ISP, I can install an updated time zone file on the server.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Can you bump the time manually for now?

I'd rather just update the TZ file, since it's still going to say "PST" in the date strings.

Okay, do that then.
