Thanks, keeping in mind that the idea here is not to post anything that could lead others to feel accused, could you please rephrase:
> Dr. Bob patronized him repeatedly
Please don't take this personally, this doesn't mean I don't like you or think you're a bad person, and I'm sorry if this hurts you.
More information about posting policies and tips on alternative ways to express yourself, including a link to a nice post by Dinah on I-statements, are in the FAQ:

http://www.dr-bob.org/babble/faq.html#enforceYou might want to consider asking another poster to be your "civility buddy" and to preview your reply before you submit it.
Follow-ups regarding these issues should be redirected to Psycho-Babble Administration. They, as well as replies to the above post, should of course themselves be civil.

No, your freedom of speech is limited here. It can be therapeutic to express yourself, but this isn't necessarily the place.
> It just bothered me to see one more person come on here trying to get Christ Empowered to do something differently ... I guess your really not in a position to come on here and stick up for members of babble under these circumstances are you.
I guess it depends on what you consider sticking up for someone. Did you think he wanted to be blocked or to keep posting? Was it sticking up for him to let him get blocked or to help him keep posting?
I didn't want to see him blocked, I don't want to see you blocked, and I hope others don't want to see you blocked, either, and help you, if needed, to keep posting.
