After this:
http://www.dr-bob.org/babble/admin/20050517/msgs/502068.html
I did not post to Gabbi.
With respect to this:
http://www.dr-bob.org/babble/admin/20050517/msgs/502068.html
They were general comments rather than being directed (IMO). I was very careful to do that. I would be interested to know whether such posts are considered to be circumventing or not - I didn't think of it that way at the time.
And I would love a response :-)
With respect to this:
>Sometimes A requests B not post to them because A doesn't want B to post about a certain issue anymore.
So what is B to do???
The fact that A doesn't want B to talk about an issue is a factor, yes.
But should B have to drop an issue because A doesn't want B to talk about it anymore?
I don't think so.
Especially if B isn't being uncivil.
A can always stop reading.
Secure in the knowledge that B isn't adressing posts to them.
B can't make A continue to read.
So...
Should A stop reading
Or should B have to shut up?This isn't anything I haven't said directly to Gabbi before.
>All I know...
Is that those kind of requests tend to produce a 'f*ck that I'll continue just to spite you' kind of response.
I'm not proud of that...
But there it is.And I'm not proud of that, but that is the way I am responding to Gabbi's request because I do see it as her attempting to shut me up in talking about stuff where my perspective is different from hers. We have talked about this before. I'm not proud of it. But better to acknowledge it and own it rather than just pretending I'm perfectly okay with it, I would have thought.
>I've been forced to silence too much of my life.
And it brings that up for me.Yup.
I'm not sure what goes on with Dinah when she requests me to not post to her. I don't know if she is attempting to stop me continuing to post to the thread or what.
Not sure.
Unless she clarifies I guess I'll never know...
I don't understand what went wrong.
Why a DNP request is supposed to help.
