I was bad. So I was blocked. Bad me.Punished. I said f*rt one time :-( BLOCKED. Hurt, hurt, hurt, cuz it was so unexpected. Tried to post, but couldn't, didn't know why????felt ashamed when I realized I was blocked.
Its not like a speeding ticket, that just a fine...
Here you are made to feel shame and are isolated and muffled from speaking. Only place is chat, IF there's someone there. Or whats worse, is when you read the post of a hurting friend and wanto respond to and can't :-(> In all cases, actually...
