I got my first and only PBC in February on a Medication board thread (the infamous grain-of-salt post). My first block was April 14, on one thread, and my second block was on April 30, on a different, though similar thread. The first one was admittedly personal, but the second was not, IMO, as we've debated here. (Don't want to start it up again. I acknowledge that others have a right to their opinions too.)
> Many people find it useful to have an off board civility buddy. Sometimes for running posts past them for possible civility infractions. Sometimes for venting. I make liberal use of Babble civility buddies. And on occasion, I email Dr. Bob. He's never blocked me for an email to him, so that's always an option.
Yes, I may use a buddy in the future. I actually have emailed the doctor on something that bothered me once before.
Thanks again.
