****Because people don't just get blocked when someone IS offended... People get blocked because Bob judges that people *possibly could* feel offended. Of course people *could* take offence at anything and everything. So Bob uses his judgement... Hmm. And it is that that I am questioning.****
One post ago, you agreed that Dr. Bob's interpretation was just as valid as anyone else's.
****though that isn't quite right...
it is that (to adapt what you said a bit)
'People learn how to express their hurts without the POSSIBILITY of others feeling hurt, offended, or belittled, or they are excluded...'****Yes, that's right. We must express it without the possiblility of people getting hurt. That is the essence of civility.
*****But good decent loving people... Are blocked****
But they can come back. It's their choice.
