Baby toes,
I would like you to stay. Dr. Bob has asked me to rephrase something in one thread approximately 2-3 times. At first I though "are you kidding me"? (with the first one). But then I took it as he was actually trying to help ME too in expressing things in a way such that I don't turn the others off. Frankly if the others are turned off that is too bad but when in Rome do as the Roman's do. If there are guidelines for this board and I want to be a member, I have to agree or actualy have agreed upon signing up to go along with them. I like it when bulletin boards can be sort of a free for all but that isn't the way he wants it here. Maybe I am wrong. Maybe he isn't trying to help me too but it does help. I haven't liked being asked to rephrase things because I am not here to win friends and influence people but it is his board and he wants a certain tone, a certain flavor I would suggest. I think because of the nature of the board where intimate things are discussed someone has to keep an eye on things so that the purpose of the board isn't jeopardized and people wind up becoming injured here instead of it being a place where people can come to be free from judgement. I don't think you said anything wrong, you are just saying how you feel. I saw a T who was very insistant that I said things "politely". She said that was part of therapy in and of itself instead of me just letting it all hang out. I thought she was a terrible therapist and didn't stay with her. I don't pay someone to get their approval. but we aren't paying dr bob here so just try to say it a different way. I like you, I would like you to stay around. I think your moniker is cute, "baby toes". Baby toes are very cute. Someone here posted something very rude to something I said and I was waiting for Dr. Bob to ask them to rephrase it but he didn't. Next time I am going to ask them to rephrase if if they start in with that attitude. Please stay!!!!
