In certain instances, I actively sought to dissuade the posters from posting here. In another, I was unaware that it would even happen. In each case, the poster felt it was worth risking a block, to follow their own conscience. In that, I am proud of them. In their being blocked, I am saddened. (32 weeks? That's quite a price to pay.)

P.S. I myself would not have had the opportunity to have come to Babble, had I not been the recipient of a similar act of compassion. I came to Babble on a "pass the hat" computer, organized by a friend of mine.
