> Is it supportive to restrict or silence another's voice in this community to achieve their ends, or would you like to search for another alternative?
It isn't up to Dr Bob to provide support. He just enforces the rules which are supposed to facilitate us supporting one another. It might be supportive to you to continue requesting determinations the way you have been, but whether it is working to promote posters supporting one another is a different matter.
I am open to other alternatives.
Can you think of any??You would still be free to email Dr Bob for determinations. On my policy a 'hit' (ie a request for determination that resulted in a PBC / block) would be fine. It just restricts the number of false alarms.

a-k,
You wrote,[....false alarm...].
It is not my intention to show that a post is not in accordance with the guidlines of the forum, but to discover if the thinking of Dr. Hsiung determins if the statement is acceptable or not.
So I can not endorse any hit or miss type of policy, because I am requesting Dr. Hsiung to make that determination because it may fall into the catagory of a statment that is not already determined as far as I can see. I can only know what is visible here, so my requests are for discovery, not to "hit" or miss. I am not looking for a 'hit", for his decision that a statement is acceptable means the same to me that if the statement is not acceptable.

I think I understand that your posts are attempts at discovery. That you are trying to better understand the civility rules. That you consider that requesting frequent determinations are the best way that you can go about doing that.
So the 'hit' 'false alarm' terminology wasn't really appropriate - and I apologise for that.
If you want to know what Dr Bob thinks about whether a post is civil or not, rather than just informing him of a post that you do consider uncivil, then why can't you do the former via email?
I think...
The admin board is supposed to be more for the latter kind of case.
The former is very time consuming... Can you see that it might take a lower priority with respect to time management? That might be why you have to wait for a response sometimes.Maybe there could be a 'civility determinations' mailing list for people who want to participate???
For people who think there is a benefit to the process.I'm not sure that headway is being made.
Do you really think that asking for determinations is helping you understand the civility rules any better?

What I'd proposed to Bob, at the top of the thread, is that as part of the registration process one could be asked, “If your posts are publicly brought to the attention of Administration for a ruling on their acceptability would you like to be notified?” (I just added publicly, 'cause it wasn't in my original proposal.) Then, when Admin gets a request, they could send you an email with a URL so you could see who was challenging you and about which post. Does that explain my idea better?

Whoa, Nellie! I didn't know we had that option. Is that something you can request as part of the registration process? That you get notices if someone gets a PBC or a block?
Anyway, I'm proposing that no matter what else we decide to do (or not do) here, I'd like members to have an option that let's them request that they receive an email from Admin if someone publicly requests a ruling on them. Then, you don't have to cruise the Admin board to know if you're being investigated (so to speak). Some might not want to know when they are... but I do, and I think others might like to know too.

I was wondering if your thinking in this matter has the potential for you, in your opinion, that the policy that that group of members is trying to get Dr. Hsiung to implement, could, perhaps be a policy that could fall into the catagory as being unsupportive to others that are getting support from reading my posts?

>I was ready to say anything that is not supportive can be unsupportive, which would be more of a neutral term, but then I looked up the word.
I didn't find it in the dictionary.
The word "unsupportive" doesn't appear in Websters on-line dictionary, but it does appear 93 times in a Google search of http://www.dr-bob.org/babble aka "Psycho-Babble", so the word "unsupportive" could fall into the category of "a Psycho-Babble word".

|Eureka!
I wrote the paragraph above, contemplated it's propriety vis-a-vis the site guidelines, wondered if it is okay to call something "psychobabble" being especially certian I wasn't being sarcastic, and it dawned on me... What does "psychobabble" mean anyway? Who brought the term and the concept onto this page?
The word was the title of a book highly critical of popular pscyhology. The word is almost always used as a term critical of psychological discourse, with the possible exception of this forum where I have no idea what it is supposed to mean. But guess what - when I first found this forum, I thought it was about exactly what the popular meaning of the word was about. Boy was I ever suprised!So just now I did a reality check. Here's how people use the word, outside of this forum, which is where I learned it:
Dr. Leon's "Psychobabble glossary":
http://www.drleons.com/babble.htmWas Alan Parsons supportive of psychology? His song "Psychobabble" is the theme of this site.
In "Freudiana" he wrote:
I found a Freudian book gathering dust upon my shelf.
I thought I'll give it a look, would it hurt or would it help?
I saw a picture of a stranger but I don't understand.
He had a ring around his finger and something burning in his hand.
And I wanted him to teach me and I needed to believe.
But the shadows that he threw me were intended to deceive.
Freudiana, do you want to be somebody?
Freudiana, do you want to change the world?
And what are the lyrics to "Psychobabble" -- the theme song of this site? "Civil" or not?You're readin' my mind you won't look in my eyes
You say I do things that I don't realise
But I don't care it's all psychobabble rap to me
Psychobabble all psychobabble
Psychobabble all psychobabble
You're lighting a scene that's faded to black
I threw it away cause I don't want it back
But I don't care it's all psychobabble rap
And what about the book "Psychobabble" that made the term a household word?
It was subtitled "Psychobabble: Fast Talk and Quick Cure in the Era of Feeling" 1973
Twenty years later, another author used the same title to criticize modern psychology, this time subtitled "The Failure of Modern Psychology and the Biblical Alternative".
In Psychology Today July/August 1998, Professor of Psychology Kay Deaux, PRESIDENT OF THE AMERICAN PSYCHOLOGICAL SOCIETY, in an article titled "Beyond Psychobabble" explored "approaches used to assess various aspects of psychology; factors which influence '****BABBLING***' among individuals; and detailed "some of the errors which can evolve when attempting to analyze psychological problems.
Drop the "psycho" and just consider "babble" ... is that word ever used with a positive connotation regarding the speech so described?Then I contemplate what was apparently one person's evolution toward developing rules of "civility" apparently several years after deciding to name a forum "Psycho-babble" -- at a time when he had little idea what issues would arise in administering the forum. I'm not sure the name would hold up today -- if the forum was named "Robert Hsiung's Mental Health Support and Education Web Site" and someones message about people's failures and shortcomings when discussing mental health issues was titled "Psychobabble" would they be asked not to post anything that might make others feel put down?
And I think about other issues -- support, attachment, nostalgia -- how much harm and how much good could come from requiring everyone involved in this forum to let go of the familiar name -- same rules, same yellow pages, same script, same "Dr. Bob" -- just another name -- no more "Psychobabble". Why doesn't the name of the site conform to the same expectations we are to follow.
I not writing this to put down the name -- I consider Alan Parsons to be a profound artist -- I'm just suggesting it might be time to retire the name, and replace it with something more suitable for the current expectations of the forum.
No .... no need to shut down the forums. Let's just start talking about a new name ...

No doubt the psychologists wouldn't have thought Babbling very useful / theraputic.
The mean it to be a derogatory comment.

I use 'Babbling' to be synonomous with 'posting'. I prefer Babbling. To me it sounds cuter :-)
It doesn't have negative connotations to me anymore.
And before...
I thought it was amusing.
A pun.
We Babble (post) about psyc stuff.
It is true that most of us aren't qualified to practice.
But so what?
That doesn't mean we can't be helpful.
More helpful than those who do, even :-)

Is cute supportive? or is it educational? Come to think of it, I feel put down when my expressed thoughts are labeled "babble." Maybe that's why I don't post on the other boards much. I'm not trying to be cute. It reminds me somewhat of the "n" word. After it was used as an insult for a century, some people decided it was cute to use it among themselves to refer to themselves. But some elders of that community don't think using the word that way does much to relieve the pain.
> That doesn't mean we can't be helpful.
> More helpful than those who do, even :-)
Do the math. The clinics are still saving far more lives.And we can learn to use the language as well or better than clinicians without using a diminutive term for our interactions.

Dinah,
You wrote that by Mr. Hsiung leaving a statement up that he means that no rule has been broken. This is the crux of a great issue here where anti-Semitic propaganda and defamation against me are being allowed by Mr. Hsiung to stand which could convey to readers that no rule has been broken. What I would like from you is the following:
A. Return to posting so that I can elucidate further information from you to help readers clarify that what I am doing here is to try to stop Mr. Hsiung from allowing anti-Semitism to be seen as that no rule has been broken
B. Return to posting so that harm to Jews could be avoided by a subset of readers that could think that Mr. Hsiung is denying me equal protection of his rules by refusing to honor his enforcement policy in relation to leaving my notifications to him to be outstanding, which could lead some to think that he is against the Jews because that allows anti-Semitic propaganda to be seen as not against the rules, which is what anti-Semitism entails.
C. Return to posting so that we could discuss Mr. Hsiung's statement that he does not respond to me so that others might not respond to me, which could induce anti-Semitic hate as readers seing that Mr. Hsiung is advocating the shunning of me here and that others have also advocated that which could be from his example.
D. Return to posting to discuss other good and just issues here.

Do you expect educated readers that know the history of European Fascism where those leaders justified genocide by saying that they were doing what will be good for their country as a whole and to trust them and trust their judgement, to go along with you here?
Do you expect rational readers to accept your justification for leaving anti-Semitic propaganda here to be seen as civil and supportive by you knowing that the justification that you use is the same justification used to have slavery?
