FACTS CONSIDERED

A work partner saw clear mutual interest, then deliberately tried to take over the conversation. He later pressed for private details.

RULING

VIOLATION. The No-Blocking Rule forbids sabotaging a friend’s respectful conversation when interest is clear. He was assigned work-partner duty, not hostile-takeover duty. Case closed.

REMEDY

He must admit the block attempt and buy the next round.
