Hi Ron,

> I see Babble's crime and punishment mentality much the same way - doesn't work, but beat it to death anyway.I agree with that (no big secret there)
What I really wanted to add that I don't think is discussed enough is the effect the blocks have on other posters. I miss posters when they're blocked. Some are not personal friends, and I have certain posters that I like to follow or touch base with. When you have several of your friends "gone" at once, its like you're blocked too. Then you get buzy...and before you know it, another poster is gone. And I think it spreads, like "kindling", to compare it to a med term. What happens on one board effects the "mood" on other boards, etc.

**Note-Sorry, Ron, that I posted my thread for a dog board right after yours. My friend and I were just talking about how therapeutic our dogs can be when feeling blue. I would have waited had I seen your thread first, hope you're a dog person and forgive me!!!
