Linux Printing a block of lines from a file, if that block does not contain two patterns using sed

I want to process a file block by block using sed, and if that block does not contain two patterns, then that complete block has to be printed.

See below for the example data.
Code:
................................server 1...............................
running                     process 1
running                     process 2
running                     process 3
date : 12/12/2012
............................................................................
................................server 2...............................
running                     process 1
stopped                    process 2
running                     process 3
date : 13/12/2012
............................................................................

in the above mentioned file a block refers from
.........server................. to ........................
in that block i have to check, if there is no pattern "stop" and "13/12/2012" then i have to print that block.

this is what i have tried till now

Code:
sed -n -e '/./{H;/\.\.\.\./!d;}' -e 'x;/stop/ !{ /13.12.2012/ !{p;}}' example

the output iam getting is given below
Code:
 ................................server 1...............................
................................server 1...............................
running                     process 1
running                     process 2
running                     process 3
date : 12/12/2012
............................................................................
............................................................................
................................server 2...............................

The required output is
Code:
 ................................server 1...............................
running                     process 1
 running                     process 2
 running                     process 3
 date : 12/12/2012
 ............................................................................

Please let me know what am I doing wrong.Smilie

YPSET(8)						    BSD System Manager's Manual 						  YPSET(8)

NAME
ypset -- tell ypbind(8) which YP server process to use SYNOPSIS
ypset [-h host] [-d domain] server DESCRIPTION
The ypset utility tells the ypbind(8) process on the current machine which YP server process to communicate with. If server is down or is not running a YP server process, it is not discovered until a YP client process attempts to access a YP map, at which time ypbind(8) tests the binding and takes appropriate action. The ypset utility is most useful for binding a YP client that is not on the same broadcast network as the closest YP server, but can also be used for debugging a local network's YP configuration, testing specific YP client programs, or binding to a specific server when there are many servers on the local network supplying YP maps. The options are as follows: -h host Set the YP binding on host instead of the local machine. -d domain Use the YP domain domain instead of the default domain as returned by domainname(1). SEE ALSO
domainname(1), ypcat(1), ypmatch(1), yp(8), ypbind(8) AUTHORS
