If 2 people have such interaction problems that one is abrasive/abusive to
the other, then I see nothing wrong with the "victim" to do what
he can to prevent contact. Policy complaints arent the answer for
everything..

Its called "interpretation" we have already seen over the years
how people interpret policy, in most cases to fit an agenda.

Not anti-Ward, just his edict, now go read what I said about interpretations.

How so?

If your contention is that the ZCC is a "bad thing", would you
still think so if they had ruled opposite from what they have? Lets see if
you can eat that cake?
