Hi Nikki....of course it is Dr Bob's call to make
Personally if I had a site like this I would make the decision go ahead and block them IF they broke a rule like this because otherwise the site and I am being held hostage. Members suffer reading the threats of "I will kill myself if you block me".....Being held hostage is not healthy for anyone on here IN MY OPINION... NOT saying that anyone IS doing that but that is how I would feel about it.
They would then be told to stay in therapy and seek help. There are risks all over the webTheoretically, we could ALL avoid blocks if a threat to kill oneself got us all out of block. I AM NOT suggesting anyone do that at all. This is one of the reasons I would like to see a new rule on this, and see it enforced no matter WHO broke it.
