Did we all just get suckered (or most of us -- it looks like Kingfish and a couple of others might have caught on)? Or is this still part of a game? Either way, I'm very confused. I'm mad. I've tried to reach out and help someone when I am hurting (something I learned to do in AA).
Regardless, it is as I've said above -- the posts by gldngodess (regardless if she and Else are one and the same) make the board feel unsafe to me. My earlier question -- when do provactive posts cross the line? Even if we do not respond or respond civilly, is there a point that a poster should not be welcome? Is there a point that the community can say "hey, that is not appropriate" in the most civil tones? I know the problem with this question is that the line is different for each person.
So the line is your line, Dr. Bob, and up to now, the only behavior I have seen you slap someone on the wrist for is uncivil behavior. I'm hoping that if it is true that a person is posting as two individuals in the manner as it appears might have been done, another line might appear. However, if it is the case that these are two individuals, the tone of some of gldngodess' posts were quite disturbing. I don't know the solution. I just know I am very upset about the whole situation -- made worse by my own emotional state this weekend.

I really feel I am actually taking out my aggression positively, because I can vent what my other ,depressed, side thinks and tire myself out for a good night's sleep. It's like taking out my aggression on a pillow but better.
