Deneb,
it worries me when you write posts like this. It seems (and correct me if I'm wrong) that you might be implying that posters here have no personal responsibility for owning their own emotions or responses to blocks, or even for writing the things that get blocked in the first place.Are you implying that Dr. Bob, as the one who assigns blocks, is totally responsible for the state of mind & emotional unheaval of the blocked parties?
To me, that is sort of like saying that people who commit crimes should not have to go to jail because it will upset them. Or that Olympic athletes who are caught doping or taking steroids should not have medals taken away (even if they know it would happen if they got caught) because it will make them desperate and possibly suicidal. The deal is, this site has rules about posting, and everyone knows what they are. We can choose to familiarize ourselves with the rules, and can choose whether to break them or not. And then it's up to us to face the consequences. Right? I just don't get why people are making this so personal about Dr. Bob...
What about personal responsibility?
