however, when you've had a troubled childhood, as many here have, that can be extremely difficult for a poster.
it doesn't even have to stem from childhood, it can be from an abusive relationship, etc. and a person will learn that "I" can't do anything right....thus, being blocked magnifies the struggles that someone could be going through.
being blocked from a group of your peers doesn't seem to me to be acceptable except in major cases. the length of your blocks are very troubling, in most cases.
remember the "special school" that the real troublemakers went to in highschool? i don't remember any of those kids rebounding with great positive attitudes. i remember a group of hurt/angry kids.
p.s., bob, you never did answer my question about your rationale concerning the posters feeling so disempowered here...but that's okay. that doesn't mean i don't like you or think you are a bad person.
