Sigh, Dr. Hsiung, I do think sometimes that there gets to be an obsessive (hence the above criteria listed out to the nth degree) correlation between person X and blocking.
I also do believe that there is political correctness that goes on here at times that doesn't take into account that we all cannot hide behind the internet and never venture out into the world.
The real world is (and living in a certain city in Southern California) tough and I think people naturally seek solace which is fine, but I also think that reality needs to come into place.
Every day in someone's workforce there is a jerk, there are rules, people **** each other off, and at the end of the day you hopefully have more in your bank account.
I think that there has to be a balance between preparing people for the real life out there and solace so it doesn't get to the degree of coddling.
I know this because I've been an "adult child" for some years and it only gets worse making yourself housebound.
Maybe I've strayed from the general subject at hand, but I'm just offering my opinion, which I give as a disclaimer.- tidings
