> The Psychology board used to be one of the hotbeds for PBCs and blocks before everyone either left or got blocked or both. That's where I saw Twinleaf get PBC'd left and right for trying to help other babblers in trouble. At times, it appeared as though she couldn't speak without getting handed a citation. And from there on, Twinleaf's blocks seemed to multiply exponentially to lengthy one year blocks.

> Hey Twinleaf, I don't post much, but it was obvious to me how hard you tried this time around. I'm glad you're doing well. I can only imagine all the conversations you must have had with your T about your interactions at babble. Your analyst must be amazing. :)Free, I agree with you. I feel that Twinleaf is a special person and we all miss her tremendously. I personally feel that rarely do we as fellow babblers ever know when someone we care about is either in trouble or in danger of getting blocks. I personally think blocks are punative to the community of babblers and to those being blocked I have been here off and on for awhile and I have seen many blocks for things I felt were not uncivil but I know it is not my site, but I can disagree. Unfortunately all these blocks and all the rules changing so fast it is hard to keep up with makes me feel like that is the reason babble seems dried up. So many great people are blocked right now and it hurts all of us when they are blocked. I love psychology but the things here on admin just simply hurtful because I miss so many wonderful people that are no longer here. It is a shame. It also makes me feel like I can't post because I can tell you right now a block would send me in a tailspin. Downward tailspin.
But that is my humble lowly opinion and I am sure I am not allowed to have it.
