I think your comments about Zen are insightful, Gabbi. I did not know her here. I met her elsewhere and have endeavored to get to know her better. I wanted to understand how someone who seemed so invested in PB and who is so kind to me could become so dangerous to others here that she would warrent a year-long banishment. I am still trying to figure this out.
I think gender does come into play here. I also think that the culture here can become so contentious that some posters become swept up into the fray. How sad that people who love this place get punished for their human reactions to other's provocations and end up bitter or banished. If this is Bob's legacy, it will be bittersweet for while he helped many, his creation also hurt many as well.
Some of you lived this and may not want to recall these times, but those of you like me who were not there, check out a period when lambs were led to slaughter.
