Hi Dr. Bob,
I'm not going to post on the main board anymore. I think a few months off is in order.
Issue no. 1:
In an exchange between me and another poster, he used the word "crap" in a way that was clearly directed at me in anger.http://www.dr-bob.org/babble/20030701/msgs/239777.html
I know "crap" isn't a swear word and I wouldn't mind it being used in another context, but I didn't like the way he used it towards me. I understand the guy's got a lot of anger, but I used civil language in my post - he can do the same.
In response, I asked him not to throw words like that at me again. He responded that he'd use "crap" if he wanted to.

Issue no. 2:
A few weeks ago someone responded to one of my posts in a totally inappropriate, sexually offensive way. Only ONE other person stuck up for me. I did post again after that, and even posted something helpful to that person, and he hasn't done anything like that since. So it's history and there's no point in saying anything to that person now. But it has kind of left me skittish.
You know what? I hate to be a tattle-tale, but I'm upset. I try to go out of my way to use civil language even if I disagree with the person. And I just don't feel safe on this board anymore.
I'll stay on Psycho-social babble for a while because no one's been nasty to me over there.
