I for one have not directed my comments on this torwards anyone in paticular, I am only talking in general terms the effects of sucidal threats against posters who don't do what the sucidal person requests. This a real issue, in fact it is in administration because many are having problems with this behavior on the boards, in chat, and in babblemails.
If someones see's their behavior that we are talking about, it is purely conciceidencal as no names were used. But of course it is about certain posters behaviors, if it wasn't then there would be no general complaints. But names were left out on purpose to keep it civil.I think it is completely valid to talk about why this happens, and what to do about it.
The only person talked about was directly violations of "don't post to me" , in which a paticular poster violated twice with 2 different babblers, in this exact thread, babblers who requested that they not be posted to. I for one, reported one this morning, but have yet to see anything done about it.
But the overall discussion here is about there needs to be changes in how we deal with sucidal threats against indivduals who don't do what they say.
I think discussing the charatersics of behaviors of someone who does this behavior is valid, because knowing what we are dealing with will help in how to deal with it. If it is personality disorders, or just those characteristics of the symptoms, then that needs to be taken into concederation.
I have not publicly talked about anyone in paticular, and to my knowledge nobody else has. What are we suppose to do, not talk about this and allow it to keep happening. I am glad I am taking a stand against it, and I am glad others have supported me for doing so either publicly or privately. Rules need to be changed to protect innocent people. If I get blocked for complaining about feeling blackmailed, threatened, then that is what it takes. But I haven't implied anyone, and if they think they are being talked about, then that isn't my fault they feel guilty for their behaviors. You can't talk about this behavior without implying that some babblers are doing this, but nobody was named.
