> I think by simply ignoring the offending party, they always leave... To fight a person who moderates a board is a
losing proposition, to fight a person over someone who really doesn't warrent the attention is also self-defeating.OK, this is an experiment. Could you please rephrase those two sentences? Thanks (again :-) for being a guinea
pig,OK, I will try- but I warn you that it will take more than 2 sentences :-). My first feeling is that some posters (and there have been several) feed on the constant attention they receive- once that stops they ALWAYS leave. This board belongs to Dr. Bob, he has put a great deal of work into it, and I feel does his best to put the safety of all posters first. Since it IS his board, you must play by HIS rules. You may not agree, but ask yourself if you have gained a lot of positive support versus the negative of one poster (or perhaps how he is handled). I know I have gained immense support from many of you, and that is why this disturbs me so much. But I do understand triggers, and I feel time does put them in perspective and hope for your return. I agree with Lini to please stay, but understand the need to take a breather. I apologize for being so verbose- judy
