Right, I can confirm whether babblemail is genuine and block someone from sending them:

So if we think a poster is violating the civility rules via bmail, we can email you and you might block them from being able to send bmail to anyone. Got it.

Phillipa, I also didn't like it when you sent me a babble mail saying that you knew what I looked like. Apparently another member had shared a pic with you. I didn't feel harrassed, just extremely annoyed.
My life is private with the exception of what I post on PB.

Maxie hence why I told you so you would know. And no one has seen it. I've received many babblers pics over the years from numerous posters. Then on Social we've shared pics many times. Do you visit social? I think a few weeks about someone was posting pics of their hair asking for advise. It's common on social. I've also posted my pic there several times. Phillipa

That is spooky. I don't like that these things are happening around here and nothing is being done to address this type of behavior.

What? Considering this is about what you did I don't understand what you are trying to say. Are you pretending you didn't do things that people are uncomfortable about?
Phillipa, I would appreciate that you respect the babblemail we traded over a year ago where we agreed not to respond to each others direct postings.

You say you don't like it but you are sending babblemails with comments about pictures etc. It's not right. I want my identity at PB to remain at PB. I hate when people know things about me. That's why I would never give my real name out for people to add to Facebook.

Maxie I like facebook as don't discuss meds or personal issues just joking and having fun with family, friends, and neighbors. We all have our pics on there it's fun. Babble is separate. Different. I didn't send your pic to me your friend did and I told you about it is that bad? Would you rather not know? Just asking as I can keep secrets. Phillipa

I think Phillipa has an obsession and addiction to posting on babble. I just don't understand how someone can post over 100 times in a couple of days, and that's just on the MED board and not including the other boards. Something is very wrong here. She should be talking more with a therapist and getting help for her problems. Call me mean, but that's the way I see it.

Although I see the complete validity in the other posters' concerns and upset about some things that went on between them and Phillipa, I think what you said was uncalled for polarbear. So what if she posts 100 times a day? This isn't a free for all.

I agree--this isn't a time or place for general expression of antipathy for Phillipa. Everyone has personal likes and dislikes, favorite friends, etc.
Stick to the issue at hand. Personal privacy and the violation of trust. As I recall Polarbear, you've raised this opinion before in another unrelated post sometime ago. My advice--let your subjective judgment go--it's irrelevant to the discussion.

The most uncomfortable breech of trust for me was receiving sexually suggestive babblemail mail from a community member whom I refrain from naming.
I count Phillipa a friend, as I do many others here. I, too recived an email w/ third party info about which I felt uncomfortable. I should have told her at the time. However, during the process of inform sharing in this thread, remember that there is a real person involved, one who
is not the only one to break protocol. Be kind.fb

I agree with you. This place can exacerbate an illness if it is let go and that is exactly what is happening and then it spills over into private babblemail and unacceptable behavior. That behavior and it being allowed has driven many people away. Babble isn't what it used to be because some people have taken over and made it their personal board without regard for others.

Last time I will remark on this thread but for two years I have a babblemail where a poster sent the police to my old address in a different part of the state? Person stated the info was given to her by a deputy. This is something I could have reported but didn't. And no I won't sent or post copies. Who knows what troubles the person might have been going through at the time? Phillipa

This is exactly what I was thinking of John. Thanks.

One person responsible for diminishing posts at babble? Armchair diagnosis of another member (in a public forum no less)? Absurdity and acrimony. Irrelevant as well, in addition to hurtful to Phillipa and generally unproductive
Despite whatever qualifications may entitle you to pass judgment on others, I feel your backslapping session is
best confined to babblemail or personal correspondence.Sincerely,

But please don't take this personally, either, this doesn't mean I don't like you or think you're bad people, and I'm sorry if this hurts you.
Phillipa, I'm also sorry if you felt hurt, too.
Angela and fb, thanks for trying to help.

Did they have a reason to be worried about you? If you'd like me to look into it, I'd be glad to. I think the deputies have been great, but no one's perfect. Thanks,
Bob

As you know, deputies don't have information about people's locations, emails, names, etc., Dr. Bob. Or even the information you use. I just wanted to clear that up so no one worried. That is not information a deputy would have.

"One person responsible for diminishing posts at babble?"
Yes, I believe so but you can disagree that is fine.
"Armchair diagnosis of another member (in a public forum no less)? Absurdity and acrimony."
Ahh, but is this not what most do here? Playing doctor and dispensing medication advice based on ONE post? That is what seems absurd to me and dangerous.
"Irrelevant as well, in addition to hurtful to Phillipa and generally unproductive."
I don't think worrying about lines being crossed is unproductive.

I'm not saying anything at all about any particular incident. I have no idea what was meant by any particular comment.
But I wanted to assure people in general that deputies have no special ability to discover identifying information.

Dr. Bob:
I don't mean to be uncivil. It seems there is a pattern going on here that is very dangerous to the board. Frankly, it scares me that you seem to believe people sending strange babblemails is not unacceptable. As you know, this is not the first time this has happened. I believe strong statements should be made so people believe they have recourse if babblemail crosses the line.
This actually happened with me when I had a disagrement with Phillipa. Someone I thought I could trust had given out my private email and I was harassed for "picking" on her. I even alerted a deputy (which I found out was her friend) and nothing was done. It seems to me that some are protected and others are not. That is not fair.
Maybe it is just time I pack it up here. I am sorry for posting what I feel and I am sorry you find it uncivil.
