I thought about why I got so emotionally invested in these issues. Why I keep requiring reasons.
Wanting the power to block myself is probably like wanting the power to lock myself in my room. Self imposed punishment or whatever. So I can preempt you if I feel bad about something I have done. I thought it was just about deadlines, but then I realised I'd probably use it the other way too.
I think that Susan is a mirror for me. I really did think that nobody found @ss offensive and so I had sympathy for what looked (to me) like her acting out against what seemed to be an 'unreasonable' rule. But then I don't personally have a problem with the rule (it's not that hard to insert *'s) - so why was I protesting? I guess I thought that it was unreasonable that someone would be blocked over something that nobody found offensive. I think I can take blocks very personally. Both mine and other peoples. I think I just took up what I thought to be her cause.
(If you read this Susan remember that we are talking about my screwey perceptions here).
Not the students board, though. I think that is different. I am getting really lonely over there by myself and I wish gg and Larry Hoover and others could join in. Don't care whether they have student email addresses or not, they have helped me heaps with students stuff.
Probably best to leave this now...
