Those that been here any length of time, know that for whatever reason, controversy seems to crop up around her.
For the most part she seems to try, and to not mean harm, but again and again...trouble :(.
I think there just needs to be caution and awareness used when interacting w/her.
In a way she is a good wake up call.
Cuz really, nowhere are you safe on the 'net.
Information you give out in any form can be easily sent wherever, very easily.
So BEWARE on the 'net.
So, if a poster is causing you a problem, then just try and kindly avoid them.
I hate b-mail, but for the most basic purposes(eg warning a poster that they are walking in dangerous territory, or to 'beware', or, careful, you giving out too much ID info, well, b-mail can be useful for that. But only basic communication, NOT detail, NOT gossip.
Just summat like, 'watch your step, I won't give details, but just be careful', or 'careful w/your words or you gonna get blocked', or, stuff like that.
BUT NOT GOSSIP bout others 4 sure.
I kinda wished bob would email posters, no names mentioned(like ME when i being bad), if they have ONGOING issues that keep causing trouble.
Cuz sure as sh*t you can't do it here cuz then you'd be accused of being uncivil, and I don't like stuff btwn posters hidden in bmails.
But see, here is another example that if the community was more stable and safer, then we could work on this stuff.
But as it stands now, we afraid to post stuff, for fear of the shame of a PBC, or the pain of a block.
How can we speak??? How can we have 'real' convos? MEATY ones? We can't, so it can only be shallow.
And that is NOT really truly supportive.
Its just the same b*llsh*t we do every day...."Hi! How are you?", , "Oh, I'm fine..." FLUFF
