I think Dr. Bob accessed my post on PSB for this thread (although I know this has come up before) but my reason for posting was to point out the degree of negativity compared to 2 years ago. As Greg pointed out this could be due to the increased number of posters- do you keep some kind of graph of # of posters vs # of blocks Dr. Bob? Also, there were some selfish reasons, to see if some of the old posters were still lurking, and happily (for me) they are. Finally, I guess I consider this a 'medium' of moderated boards, I belong to one that's heavily moderated for child abuse victims (where the list of rules makes this one absolutely pale in comparison) and those wide open ones, where I think the people who are repeated blocked here go and are welcomed with open arms. For someone as sensitive as I am, I'm grateful for the real life quality of this board and the relative safety it affords. I liked some of Mark's suggestions- I've seen them before, but it still doesn't address the posters who come here deliberately to hurt (and that has to be a full-time job to monitor them, and I'm sure Dr. Bob already has a full-time job. So I guess the idea of an 'old-timer' board was (for me) a place of safety. Take care, judy
