> Please don't jump to conclusions about others.Dr Bob I didn't mean that in any way as a put down. I suppose I was trying to explain why I chose to answer. I thought I might have been overreacting in a way and was a little embarassed. But I thought it was worth it because I was worried about her. It was out of concern. Being alone and ill is dangerous. I thought I was giving good advice.I did feel sad because I think M is a valuable person and was feeling scared and had had a heart attack recently. I thought I was empathizing...but I'll try not to do it again in a way that will offend you. Perhaps my contributions might be most valuable on the admin board.

> But please don't take this personally, either, this doesn't mean I don't like you or think you're a bad person.Thanks Bob. As feedback, some have noticed that you have omitted this reassurance from some posts lately. Is there some reason you have included it in mine? I wouldn't want people to suspect we have a special relationship or anything ;)
This doesn't mean I don't like you either or that I do like your policies re blocking and equal enforcement.

Yeah, I have noticed that :-( Well, I think Dr. Bob should pbc himself for his own jumping to conclusions. I thought Zazenduckie's words were expressed out of concern and sympathy, and didn't deserve a pbc. But, who am I to judge. There doesn't seem to be any real rhyme or reason to the issuing of pbc's or block that I can figure out.

is the phrase "it's really sad" no longer civil?

I simply do not understand your decision to issue a PBC to zazenduckie's post.
That post just resonated with concern for maxime in my mind.
I would love to get a post like that if I were feeling weird.
Really really heavy sigh.
I love this place and my cyberfriends here, but lately it's just feeling heavy and hurtful to me.
I may have to leave to protect myself.

I agree, that was I thought, a kind and supportive post which was looked at with prejudice.
Something like this?
"Well I hate to think of you sitting around all day waiting doing nothing to help yourself and relying on the computer to do it for you.." maybe..
But really I would feel warm inside after recieving a post like the one Zazenducky wrote to Maxine, and it's a sad situation when that it was P.B.C'dThis is not to say that I think anything I say may possibly cause you to change your mind or really have any effect at all although it has been known to happen.

With the complicated maths it's not a double block for the next infraction (unless it happens quickly) but now that Zazenduckie has a 3 week block the next one can be more, and so on.
I think we should be able to talk about this accurately.

duckie...your posts are very serious and we'd give them nothing but our most respectful attention
there are several folks who have the ability to write things and post here w/o PBC or blocks and say what is in our heart....we lack that ability and we're grateful that those who are able to do the dance...do!
