That is the kind of thing therapists like to say :-)
Maybe... But not necessarily... People with Tourette's don't really have the ability to control their tics... Perhaps... Or their verbal outbursts... Perhaps...Most people like attention from others, I've learned. And a lot seem to prefer negative attention than no attention at all.
> ~~We think that Bob's blocking Lou is going to solve all our problems???? Whew. Where do you get that from anything that anyone has said, implied, made an unspoken premise, etc?
The Insistence. I see people feeling Very Strongly about this. Like it really were a matter of life and death or something like that.
> The only thing Bob's blocking Lou would do is briefly save us the annoyance of having to monitor his blasts and to counter his misinformation.
Well... If that is all there is for you... How do we weight that against the need for people contact of a person who (might possibly) not be capable of coaxing more positive responses from others...
