but, we're not therapists, or pdocs or psychologists here ( as a rule). We're not trained in conflict resolution.
Sometimes, I guess, people need to take responsibility for their own actions..
Personally, I would rather feel safe here with things the way they are.. Safe from knowing I cannot be attacked.
have you ever had a "cyber stalker"? Someone who discovers websites you post on, follows you there and continually posts personal information about you and incredibly upsetting abusive messages? I have, for many many years... But here I always knew was safe, as if he ever found me here (which luckily he didn't, as I used my RT name, not my commonly known virtual-name) I knew I would be protected by the rules and blocks.
I guess the problems is.. there are a chunk of us who like it here as it is, yet there is another chunk who want PB to be *their* way.. This has happened regularly over the years I have been here (and seen it just about all other sites I use that "have rules").
I'm tired of PB these days.. I find the arguing of so many small points to be very very tiring. And you know what, its making me forget the good points and the goo people.. Which is very sad
