Why would you think it necessary to single me out for especially severe blocks? I am aware that you have felt this way about me for at least the last five years. I feel that the only thing I have done during this time is to say that I did not approve of the very severe blocking policies of 2007, and, more recently, that I did not think an unmoderated forum worked well either. During unmoderated times, there has been an increase in destructive comments and a progressive loss of the most valuable part of Babble - a core of trusting, sharing posters. All this time, I have argued for a relatively minimal, flexible type of monitoring , of a kind that would keep this place
relatively safe and supportive for all those seeking support, understanding and information, and which would not be excessively demanding of your time. During the time I have been here, I have developed a number of relationships here which were meaningful, helpful and supportive; although many of those posters are now gone, I have not forgotten what they meant to me. Any differences that I have had with others were relatively minor and not difficult to resolve. When I have disagreed with your administrative policies, I know that I have still treated you with courtesy and respect.Because of this, it is impossible for me to understand why you
would consider me threatening in any way, and why you would single me out for uniquely harsh treatment. I have put up with it in the past because of the value Babble had in my life, but, at this point, your conduct towards me has become the most decisive factor. I feel that your attitude is inappropriate in a forum devoted to mental health; it is completely unacceptable to me.
