> I've said on more than one occasion that at times I feel absolutely no ability to respond in any helpful way. I have often tried and I have nearly always regretted trying, because the result does not seem appreciably different than if I had not tried. But I make myself more vulnerable.You should do what is best for you, as always. I do think you could be helpful, but not at the expense of your own health if you are feeling this way.
> Clearly I am unable to be helpful in some situations, and should take a more Boblike approach.Stepping away because of your health is the right thing to do, but I wouldn't consider that being the Bob approach.
>
> I don't think continuing would help the situation. I am in distress. And Dr. Bob has asked that I not continue.Not just you, but all the deputies, right? So it it fair to conclude that this discussion is over because it is going to fall on death ears?

> Vortex is his word, not ours. It's not a negative word any more than trigger is.I understand it is his word, but I don't feel it is exactly positive to those who have posted on this thread. With this word being the one used to describe this thread, I am sure my voice is not going to be heard, I should walk away. Not because of my mental health, not because I don't care, but because like I said before, it will probably be a waste of time since there is "no conversation" taking place to help this place become better. That message is coming across LOUD AND CLEAR. IGNORE THE VORTEX (which is us babblers messages you know.)

> Are you likely to change your view of the situation because I do continue? Am I likely to take the view of others about my own actions?I am not sure why you are taking this thread personally? I just don't get it at all, this thread is NOT about you, this is about discussing the way the rules are handled on this site and the way it is not working.
>
> Unless others can convince me that my continuing the discussion will be helpful for Babble, I must decline. And I must ask that I not be pressured to continue.Who is pressuring you? I didn't get that impression at all.
