> I don't understand how they can be seen any other way. Assuming that a poster posts on both glassed off and open boards:
> 1) You are having conversations, playful or meaningful, which can be read by your friends from all boards.
> 2) Some of those conversations can not be joined by friends unless they are members of a limited size, and thus restricted, board.
> 3) It logically follows from 1 & 2 that you are engaging in " play behind a glass wall where all their friends can watch and listen, but only some of their friends are welcome to join in"
> Can all friends watch and listen? Yes. Are all friends welcome to join in? No. Only some are welcome to join in those conversations.
> What other possible way can 1 & 2 be joined?
> The other alternative is that people participate in only restricted boards in which case
> 1) People who they do not consider friends can watch and listen.
> 2) People who they do not consider friends are not welcome to join in.
> That is at least internally consistent to me, but not really in keeping with what the boards mean to me.
> The first scenario, where people considered friends are not allowed to join in conversations they are allowed to watch and see, is totally beyond my conception.Hmm. I think... I think...
I finally see what you mean.
Dare I say
(Dare I say)
When you put it like that...
I change my mind.
I don't like the idea either.
> Alexandra, do you really think that's what I want? Do you know me so little that you think that I would find that a good thing? Do you think I want this to be about me? Do you really think I'm like that?No Dinah. I didn't think you would want or like that. But I do think that that is what has happened nevertheless.
> I don't want people to side with me because they don't want to hurt me. I don't want people to shut up about their opinions because they don't want to hurt me.I know you wouldn't want that.
But I do think...
I do think...
That when people see you get so very upset about this
Then that is what happens.
I'm just stating the fact.
I don't think you would like that
I don't think you would want that
And I'm not trying to hurt you
But I do think that happens.
I'm not trying to silence you
But I do think that when people see you getting so very upset then that is what happens.
I liked your last post.
I liked it very much.
You said how you saw it.
And when you explain it like that...
Well...
I can see what you mean.
And I think I do.
And I agree.> I'm going back to self imposed block. Dr. Bob can make it official if he likes. Or he can make me step out of the white robes of PBC virginity if he likes.
> I can't sell my ideals for virginity.
Good for you :-)
But...
Please don't go.
Come back.
I don't think that warranted a blocking Dinah.
Maybe (maybe) a PBC (if that).Don't go.
Please.
Think of the consequence of that...
