> Therefore, I feel it is inappropriate for another poster to so blatantly misinterpret what I have said, and, also, for a deputy to give me a warning for indicating that I expect to be understood in a reasonable manner when I post here.
To clarify again, it is against Babble civility guidelines to post anything that could lead another poster to feel accused or put down, for example of blatantly misrepresenting what you said.
> Dinah, your warning to me epitomizes what I find troubling about Psychobabble. The meaning and essence of a poster's message is ignored in favor of some tiny point. You all seem to constantly lose sight of the forest and get bogged down in the smallest trees.
What is a small tree to you might not be a small tree to Amelia.
I suggest the same thing to you as I suggest to Amelia. Perhaps someone would volunteer to be your civility buddy, or perhaps you could ask the deputies or Dr. Bob if you have any questions about the guidelines. You can also use the notify administrators function. It's fine to try to work things out with the other poster, but please try to keep the civility guidelines in mind.
I think you are a valuable asset to Babble. I have long enjoyed your posts on Psychology, and I really wish to do what I can to help you stay as an active poster.
Dinah, acting as deputy to Dr. Bob
