In reply to How can we help other Babblers from being blocked?, posted by ClearSkies on December 29, 2006, at 12:55:40
Clearskies...I feel the best way would be to stick to helping them seek their therapist and or PDOC . I feel if it is a manipulative threat (not that I am saying we have any)....posts and pms will only feed the one who is PBC'd. If it has to do with how someone worded something babble mail would be nice maybe helping them word it better. Asking them to join you in chat even so they can express themself freely and be validated

So much support is shown here after a block has happened; wouldn't it be better if we could prevent the block in the first place? Wouldn't it be a preventative measure against the hurt that blocks can cause?
