I agree with what you're saying. The lemonade and all. It is exactly why I don't think that there should be different boards for different things. Since Dr. Bob DOES think that there is value in being able to be supportive to either selective people (reunion), or on separate topics (PB/PBA/PBS), I don't understand why he wouldn't want to make it even easier, and let us run our own personal PBC. We could each block whomever we wanted, based on how supportive we felt we were able to be to them, and they were able to be to us. What could be more supportive to the individual than that? I mean, how many times have you read that so-and-so isn't going to respond to another's posts anymore because they continually miscommunicate, or hate the way they write etc.Ideal? No. But better than different boards in my opinion, because they force those of us that CAN ignore posters or topics to instead keep track of multiple boards. In addition, the more boards there are the more it makes things easier to overlook and requires people to redirect. I mean, what if you want to write about your religious experience while taking Zoloft just for fun?
This is all just my opinion of course. And yes, I do like to argue, though I like to think of it as debate. :)
