This is unbelievable. I made a very supportive, clarifying statement about the deputies roles, along with a SUGGESTION, NOT A REMINDER that an empathic phrase might help to avoid pain when the guidelines are being administered. My post did not contain any criticism of anyone. yet I am told not to "remind" anyone to be empathic, because they might feel put down. There was a time, in March of 2008, when suggestions were welcomed and sought after as a way out of the crisis which was occurring then. Now, apparently, even suggestions are no longer permitted. They are now considered implicit criticisms rather than ideas which might be helpful.
Psychobabble has turned into a cold, heartless mess. Longtime posters whom we all know to be friendly, caring and reliable, and who have helped others, often for years, are hurt just when they are suffering crises in their own lives. No-one, none of the deputies, and not Dr. Bob, pays the slightest attention to that. All of you just dither around, mindlessly and endlessly applying your guidelines. In the process, you have crushed the life and spirit out of Babble. I consider it to be a dangerous forum for anyone with mental health issues now.
I will never spend another moment here; I will not know what you say to me or about me, nor will I know how much of a block you have given me. None of it is worth a minute more of my time.
