> I may get blocked too, but i find it unfair that Bayleaf was blocked for having an opinion that others did not agree with. I find blocking showing a control stance, where it becomes a power struggle. Bayleaf did not appear out of line. Concerns were addressed, and they were logical concerns. If someone is worried about professional boundaries isn't it fair that they be expressed? Dr. Bob can you please explain to me why you asked Bayleaf to apologize to you, when from an outsiders perspective Bayleaf was just stating an opinion. As you would know, we do not always agree. So yeah, just wondering exactly what it is Bayleaf did wrong?
I didn't block her because others didn't agree, I blocked her because I considered her post to be uncivil. Because it could've led me to feel accused. Using I-statements to express her concerns probably would've been fine. Yes, it's a control stance, but IMO some control is necessary. Would you want people to be free to post negative opinions about you?
