You don't need to reply if you don't want.
I guess I haven't been burnt by another poster badly, so I can't really say....
I guess what I was thinking is that there would be a eg. 4 week cap, but if the person re offends, there would be another 4 wk block etc.
Its just for me, there have been times when I have been somewhat in less control of myself than I am happy with. And I work on gaining control, but sometimes that takes a bit of work.
I just would hate to be blocked for a long time, cuz what if I mananged to get myself into a good place, and felt ok, and bad bout my behaviour, and wanted to talk to my babblefriens bout it all, but I couldn't cuz I was blocked for a long period of time......
So even though the state I was in that prompted the block was over, I would still be blocked. This is not supportive to me.
Keeping in mind that this IS a mental health site.
Some of us are in fact mentally ill, and w/med changes, and lkife changes etc etc, our moods may vary more than some people.
I often live just day to day. Changing ina short time period.
I don't tend to think long term.
Long term blocks are HUGE to me. HUGE. GIANGTIC.
Maybe they aren't to others.
And thats why the misunderstandings with the blocking process. Cuz blocking seems to be MUCH more hurtful to some than others.
And there's the prob. with Bob trying to have a generic blocking sysytem. Cuz we have a wide variety of people here. We are not all the same.
So that being said.....maybe its not a good place for some. But also that being said....I thot that Bob was trying to have a site that was SAFE for those that can't handle other , less civil sites....
So I dunno.
I just know that for me, blocks are INCREDIBLY painful.
And unexpected blocks INCREDIBLY triggering to me.
But that is me, Muffled.
Maybe I don't belong here?
Sometimes I get awful scared when I know I'm iffy. But I been doing good so far at staying away when I iffy.
But I still get scared sometimes, and don't talk, because I not sure I can talk right. When its noisy in my head, its not always clear to me.
I luv ya Dinah.
Hope things are going better for you.
You deserve good to happen.
((((Dinah))))
Take care,
Muffled
