> I think you ought not let it keep you from reaching out to those who might understand. There is no need to even open posts from someone if you don't wish to, much less respond.
I agree, but doing so makes me feel like a bitch. I also feel like if I don't respond, then I am giving credence to what Lou is saying, which is something that sickens me.
I'm also aware that I am in charge of how other people make me feel, but to be honest that's not really the issue. I feel a sense of responsibly to challenge false accusations that are made directly to and about me, lest they dissuade other people from seeking the help they need.
But in the spirit of this, please note Lou that I am not going to open, read or respond to your post below.
> There is a rule at babble that says the thread originator can state up front that certain types of posts would not be helpful, and request that they not be made.
LOL, this would be great if such requests were actually followed. There seems to be a great emphasis on PB about being civil to other people, yet this does not seem to apply to certain people.
> So you can always include in your own thread a notice that you would not find certain statements helpful - statements about psych meds being potentially responsible for deaths or psych meds being potentially responsible for violence against Jews; answers that involve an apocalyptic religious experience; discussions about prohibitions that Dr. Bob may or may not have made about sharing information; requests that something be read or viewed before participants reply - or whatever you really don't wish to read. Those are just examples.
LOL
> Of course, it's all contingent on Babble rules being in place, and since we are virtually unmoderated, it might not be worth the bandwidth it's written on.
Exactly.
