We could avoid a lot of blocks here if people would quit 'telling on' one another; in other words, if you feel hurt or slighted - maybe just let the perceived insulter know right away rather than hitting that notify adminstrator button. That creates a lot less friction than being told on like back in elementary school. I've done it myself when I thought someone was rude to me when I first came here - and vice versa when someone thought I was rude or inconsiderate to them - problems resolved; no blocking.
**How about make that a rule - let the posters resolve the problem on thier own, and if that doesn't work - then do your administrative stuff. That type of communication fosters relationships and is a lot healthier than having some "authority" intervene. It is a little strange since we are all adults here. In real life, we don't have some authority swoop down and make it all go away when their are frictions with work, family, friends - we must work things out on our own.*** See-that would be good thereuputic practice for us; problem resolution experience.
Jade, I had wondered why I haven't seen you around - you had a lot of good advice and support to offer, I hope you stick around.
