I would feel an obligation to disclose at the very least any current or previous posting name(s).
Dr. Bob has the courage to put his real name up there. Gotta admire him for that. He puts everything on the line for a site that causes him nothing but trouble.
I'd shut it down if I were him. Hopefully he has more intestinal fortitude than I do.

Than seeing PBC's given out in situations like this.
I know it's hard, but can we all trust that Dr. Bob will take care of this as he sees fit? Perhaps not as expeditiously as we would like, but he will - eventually. :)
In the meantime, maybe we could all grab a civility buddy and babblemail our frustrations away? Or flood Dr. Bob with emails of support.
Or even flood this thread with posts of support for Dr. Bob, that follow the civility guidelines by not mentioning any fellow posters at all?
Just a suggestion from someone who really hates to see this sort of thing result in admin actions.

Perhaps it is your tone that people misread? I am good for a joke, but not at mine or others' expense.

I know, but I'm hurting and trying to fight back for once instead of others doing it for me. People are not playing Fair. I will not be beat up in this schoolyard.

i know it is not legal, i am not dumb. i have been made to feel dumb and i am sick of people making me feel like nothing. sorry i have only been here a couple months, seems like the newbies get picked on alot more then the veterns. i have had 3 panic attacks since all this started. i may do something, dr bob needs to understand that him nore his crew can get away with doing this to people. be careful what you write back. i can print anything. i noticed dinah was quick to apologize to torp when she really owed me one. no one bothered to see how my feelings were doing afterwards. weell, panick attacks and a doctors visit. yall dont realize how your comments effect some people. thanks a bunch.

I can direct you to a really nice website where you won't have to deal with this anymore. it is http://forums.psychcentral.com/. I don't go there anymore, so you don't have to worry about me.

I did my very best to say nothing hurtful to you, but if I missed the mark I apologize. I had no intent to hurt you.

i dont need it thank you. i have a wonderful husband and family. this was a terrible exp. and if i can take legal action i just might. after all i guess sometimes shit hits the fan. and with me, it has. causing my health to go down hill is a big deal and my husband is a lawyer. i mentioned how many times i was hurt. any support from bob? nope. thats a great way to run a support system. maybe i should bill dr bob for my bill since i had a doc apt today. naaah, i dont want a thing from him. dr bob, you are an inconcederate asshole. wow, i feel so much better.

dinah, give me a break you were so quick to side with bob, it reminded me of a follower of a cult leader. too late for an apology. dont need it and dont want it. i was not wrong and i know in my heart.

do you feel good when someone tells you they are depressed and you make a comment that makes me cry. you are mean, what dont you understand. leave me alone. gosh, you are a bitch! dont acted shocked, when some disclosed health problems and you keep on, you are asking for it. you must not know anyone with depression and ANXIETY OR YOU WOULD NOT KEEP TRYING ME.

I'm sorry you got pounced on when all you did was ask for a way to contact Mary B. Or did I miss something?
I'm also sorry if you've had a rough time here. I'm not really a veteran although I've been here off and on since 2000. I know what you're talking about when one feels like an outsider, having gone through some serious maulings myself at another site until I became a mostly immune "senior member" (ugh). The incrowd-outsider tension may be a problem with any message board.
I think, though, that Dr. Bob runs one of the safest sites I've ever encountered. Veterans will get blocked as soon as newcomers for uncivility.
The key for me is not take things personally. I try not to rise to the bait. I guess I don't get too "invested" in online discussions or empower others that much. I never did find cyber-relationships that fulfilling anyway.

I wasn't looking out for you specifically in that instance, but categorically, yes, a complete stranger is looking out for you.
However, just because we are watching out for you doesn't mean we will be able to help. Often it does help just to begin defining the circumstances that can lead to injury.
Unfortunately, if an administrator decides it is okay to hurt a few for the benefit of others, denies that people are being hurt, or disparages those who attempt to explain how they were hurt, simply identifying the problem might not help. In such circumstances, it might be worthwhile to review other opportunities to find relief.
I'm not sure I can do much more than I've offered here, at least at this point in our research, but if you want to contact me, you may e-mail me at mary_bowers(at sign here)operamail.com. I'll try to reply, but i have a day job, and won't be able to individually reply to all messages if I turn out to be as popular an e-mail correspondent as I seem to be here on this page.

Mary, that thing you said about cyber addiction was true. I sat here on this seat so long I developed a decubitus sore. You've been so helpful today I was hoping you could do what my mommy did to my
booboos. ((
