I am a Cam fan, myself. He is an important member of this community and I respect him a lot. But sometimes he gets his buttons pushed, especially by certain people, and I, personally, think having a temporary "time out" might be helpful, ie, I feel Dr. Bob's decision to block for a week seems reasonable to me. I'll miss Cam, of course, but look forward to seeing him when he returns. As for the truth--telling it like it is is good, but the real truth (as I see it, of course) is that sometimes ignoring certain posters is a much better option, because they are trying to provoke and if you get provoked and drawn in, it gives them the power we don't want them to have. I know this from experience, as I, at one time, was targeted by a certain poster's disruptions and attacks, and it really pushed my buttons.
