> 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 don't think it can be figured out. I don't, at least with the knowledge we have from this side of the board.
The truth is I care for and respect Zen, but even if I had wanted to find justification for her treatment here, I could not.
I think with every other questionable decision made by Dr. Bob there is probably an explanation (if you can accept the lengthy punishments in the first place) for those who want to believe it, but not Zen.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.
***It has at times seemd to me that those who do the most supporting get the worst treatment simply because they have more opportunities to slip up.
I don't know about the rest. I don't know of other websites, and what happens, I've not cared to stay at any, but I'm sure there must be as much contention and questions about fairness.
It doesn't stop it from hurting when you see unfairness in action though.
