I am usually ambivalent about Babble. It brings me such strong support, and it can also tear away frgaile foundations. It's my own personal field of landmines. It's only with experience and friends around me who have trodden these paths before that I can learn where the safest and most effective paths lie.
The rules don't always feel like they are protecting me, but rather that they restrict me, cage me in as an animal in a zoo, to keep me safe and from hurting others. It's natural to rebel against restrictions. I have to trust that with any new rules constructed, their effectiveness can only be seen in the long term.
How about a troll free zone?
Trolls - go back under your bridge?
Please don't slime on the lawn.
Animals must be kept on a leash at all times.I still appreciate this place and try to look beyond my own feelings to how the greater community might benefit from the addition of yet another rule.
