Bob,
This may seem a stretch for this thread.... It addresses the issue of indefensibility for inappropriate and derogatory posts aimed at us when we are blocked or otherwise asked not to post.
Since I'm currently asked not to post by two or three souls here at Babble, if they volunteer anything inappropriate or deprecating toward me, how do I call them on their injustices? As you know by now, I'm not timid, likewise not easily wounded. I ask this question seeking fairness not retribution.
They, for-what-ever-reason, may have decided I was dangerous to their stability and asked me to never post to them again. Incidentally, five have rescinded their estoppel orders, first and most notable was our dear (((Dinah))), an act for which I am forever greatful. I was literally in tears reading her post that took back her no-post request.
Yet those who don't want my input, have posted to and about me, and my posting threads. Sometimes the posts have been "un-nice"!
Where is equity, Dr. Bob? Like I said, I'm not "thin-skinned" and welcome all comment(s).
1. Babble is largely an anonymous forum, to boot..... so why encourage and enforce no-post requests?
2. How can my response, appropriate and chock-full of good intentions, be considered dangerous to someone I don't know and don't want to hurt or threaten in any way?
3. Also, many months have passed since I was last asked by Gabbix and one or two others, not to post to them. What if I accidentally respond to their post(s) because time-and-tides have passed and I forgot that there was a lingering issue? Your enforcement by blockage at such a point is inequitable. Please advise...RSVP
Rod
