They aren't directed.
It was hard because Gabbi also had a tendency to say
'do not post to me'
'I take it back'
'do not post to me'
'I take it back'From memory... I broke the DNP once - and genuinely apologised straight after (I may well have been warned for that).
Aside from that I didn't break the DNP request.
I appreciate that Gabbi thinks I did...
But I didn't.
At least, I didn't think I had...
And I wasn't blocked for posting to her.I don't see why people are suprised about my perspective on this. In fact, I really can see that the situation between me and Gabbi and Dinah is very similar to the situation between Emmy and Larry.
But I tried to learn something from the block and move on.
Its either that or rail about it.
And I fail to see what good the latter does.
Blocks are hard. They bring up a lot of childhood stuff. Both for me and for Larry and for most people I suppose. But that being said it is up to the poster whether they want to explore that and try and sort it or whether they want to blame others and are determined to NOT see the other point of view.
I don't know where I'd be at if my block had have been for 6 weeks instead of 1 week...
But I choose to learn from this.
In general... I respect the rules. I believe they protect me (and indeed they have protected me) from other peoples attacks. I might not agree with them on every point... I might not agree with all of Dr Bob's determinations... But, in general I feel that he does a far better job of being consistent and fairly predictable than either myself or a group of other posters could do.He isn't perfect.
But I choose to believe he does his best.
And I choose to do my very best to leave my sh*t in the past where it belongs.
And I choose to not get into complicated discussions about nit picking over the rules.
A little personal responsibility can go a long way...
