> There seems to be a big advantage for the poster (or deputy) who initiates a sudden change in view, such as happened to me in this sequence, and also happened to me in the extraordinarily inappropriate post quoted below (all the more shocking because it was made by a mental health professional).
Please do not post anything that could lead others to feel accused or put down, for example of making inappropriate posts.
> Making silent protests via the notification button is, unfortunately, totally inadequate in every regard. There can be a degree of hurt in posted comments which simply cannot be rectified or atoned for in notifications.
If you believe a post is in violation of site guidelines, please notify administrators by using the button provided for that purpose. It may feel to you as if the notification is not adequate to rectify or atone for hurt, however it is the required course of action under the guidelines of this site. Whether or not you choose to use this function, your posts need to be made in accordance with site guidelines, and not include anything that could lead others to feel accused or put down.
If you wish to propose that the notification system be abandoned, please do not use specific or identifiable posts in your request.
You've recently been blocked from posting for two weeks, so I'm going to set your block length at four weeks, and submit it to Dr. Bob for review of block length.
Dinah, acting as deputy to Dr. Bob
