> Maybe it has to be the strictness of the rules and for blocks,
*that has definately been a challenge for me...yet I return....good people here..
>why should I put in my time when things don't change to make them better. Plus now there is the threat of getting blocked for a new rule that nobody new, that is until someone gets blocked for it.*What do you mean 'put in time?', you mean post? A chance I guess I am willing to take....though when I get blocked, I WILL be very upset. But I come back....good people here.
I know you are upset by this site HF, yet you too keep returning/reading?.......just like me :-)> Maybe it has to do with the searchablity of this site on search engines, especially since the barchive goes back years.
*Sigh it is SO hard to search, I wish it was easier...
> With a smaller private group, we are able to talk more in depth and personal without the worry of it being public, with out the worry of blocks too.
*I guess we just differ here. I LIKE that its public and open. Thats how I came to be here. I think our posts HELP other people IRL as they read here. Helps them to feel less alone in their struggles. I talk in depth and personal to my T. If its in 'public', then its for all to see, and I am OK w/that really. It is what feels 'safer' to me. But thats what makes the world go round, all us different people.
> We work problems out ourselves, we are adults anyway.*Sigh....I wish I could just talk and work out probs....but again, I do that w/T. Again, I like a broad pool to read my ideas etc and therefore more likely one of them will 'get' it, or NOT! but usu lotsa sympathy out there!
And I am hoping babblers are adults!!! OMG, depending on where I am at, my language can be pretty atrocious! Sigh....now you kinda freaking me? D'ya think kids would be on babble????>I don't see how one small group would impact babble as much as what has happened with the regards of blocks and the hacker. It just isn't safe anymore to post your intimate details of your life on a public message board, especially one that keeps archives forever. I don't feel safe, and I have been hurt very much here, and some of my apologies go un- forgiven.
*I don't think one small group impacts babble particularly, its just impactful when its brought up as being ONLY for certain people that its hurtful/divisive. I like that babble is open to all, though thats a challenge at times. So I guess I should stop complaining cuz with openess comes everything, so I guess I can't have my cake and eat it too!
Yeah, we all been hurt or trigger here I think at various times. We are a sensitive bunch. I am sorry you still struggle as far as relations go :-( Maybe with time things will improve?
Nice to see you HF.
Take care.
