I am very sad to see the length of the block you have given to Happyflower- and right in the middle of an extensive and thoughtful discussion (below) about the destructive effects of long blocks, the desirability of either no or very short blocks, and even more, the importance of giving posters an opportunity to work out their differences. Happyflower has been such an asset here, but she did not receive any of the benefit of our community's expressed feelings about what would be best for everyone. I am extremely disappointed in you. Bob. You expressed a formulaic statement about hoping she would overcome her traumatic childhood with her abusive mother, but you seem to have unwittingly put yourself "in loco parentis"- YOU are now rejecting and hurting her. If you think she can return after these long blocks, and feel as she once did- free to share her feelings, to trust others, and to work with others towards understanding herself and helping others understand themselves. you are mistaken. These long blocks have traumatized her, not, hopefully, for everywhere, but almost certainly definitely and permanently for Psychobabble. Why do such a destructive thing?
An addendum: calculus is easy for me, but I have never been able to figure our how you do the arithmetic for the blocks you give out.
