> You consider me to be violating your values because I'm allowing Lou to post whereas you wouldn't? I could accept that. Reasonable people can disagree.
No. Did I say anything about allowing Lou to post? My issue is allowing him to post things no one else would be allowed to post. You don't even give him a PBC.
Has he threatened you with legal action? Why is Lou so allfire special?
I've shown my therapist previous posts by Lou, even before this reprehensible latest. He couldn't even believe you allowed those. I can't imagine he'd want me anywhere near a place that allows intimations of violence towards me, without sanction.
Well, if this is a homeless shelter that only protects the homeless, I hope you're happy when everyone you don't consider homeless walks off. And I gotta tell you, Dr. Bob. Even homeless shelters don't allow their inmates to threaten others on their premises. So that isn't a fair comparison. This is more like a prison ward, where all those not incarcerated or armed guards can safely be on the premises.
I remember when Babble was considered a place to serve all those dealing with mental health issues. Clearly that is no longer the case. When I was a deputy, I wouldn't have even considered protecting one person, while allowing threats of violence against other people. That is so far beyond my comprehension I can't even grasp the concept of allowing it. Even my bastard middle school teachers drew the line with threats of bodily harm, much less kidnapping and execution.
I agree with Scott that this has gone beyond bizarre. Possibly into medical negligence. But I don't find it particularly amusing. Will this be part of your next research papers? What is the topic? Changing the moderation of an internet bulletin board? Changing the target population of an internet bulletin board? Seeing how far you need to go to drive off the most loyal of your board members? Deciding how many people it's ok to harm to protect one person?
I'm literally shuddering, literally convulsively trembling, from distress, and crying even after a Risperdal. You are hurting me, Dr. Bob. But maybe you should hurl some more sh*t at me and see if I make it through the crucible or crack in the furnace.
You disgust me, Dr. Bob.
And I disgust myself. Anyone with a modicum of self respect wouldn't ever come to a site where they are threatened with the full knowledge and implied consent of the moderator.
