> No one understands better than I do the difficulties in fitting in. I do have social anxiety. I have been on the outside my entire life. My husband brings my son to birthday parties because trying to socialize is such an ordeal for me.

My posts seemed to end a thread. For that matter, I still have trouble joining in the wonderful lighthearted threads because my mind is just too linear.

> I just don't see how restrictions could help anything. If you or someone who doesn't feel a part of Babble could explain how restrictions could help anything, I'd be willing to listen. I can't see how locking people out or locking people in, whichever way you want to see it, solves anything at all.I have to chuckle about this. First of all, my newbness shows in that the post should have been directed towards Dr Bob, not you Dinah. Sorry for the mistake.
As for your question about solving anything, I thought my post pretty much stated that I agree with you. As I said in the previous post, "I don't personally feel that trading in the invisible walls for visible ones solves that problem at all."Take care
