There are certainly people I know who have received serious blocks for bugger all.
I contacted one person I hadn't known who had been blocked for a year for saying something about your former president.
He was not keen to talk. He just said that it had hurt a lot and he didn't feel like starting over with it all again.

>We need to {be treated with kind, kid gloves while we heal} Blocks and scoldings and harsh words do not facilitate this. We may be irritable as suffering people are. So what. Its expected. If anything maybe they should ask us if we'd like to chat. If I was a deputy thats what I would do. Hey Jade, having a bad day? Want to chat about it?
It has happened (to me), but I suspect it's not common.
I did appreciate it though.

Myco,
Don't worry, I'm not into eating arms. Not really my taste. (I might eat a little lead once in awhile, the occasional 9millimeter clip, and stray bullets - but that's life in America - the land of the free-wheeling guns.) Sure I'm the living dead, a walking zombie, but that's beside the point.
I'm sorry you have so much hate for me and men in particular. Gender bias comes in many varities. Let's remember what happened to Matthew Shepard.

Why the hostility? And I still don't see how it's a "lol", or laughing, matter.
I've never given a rip about anyone's gender, species, sexual orientation, or even spieces.

I'm sorry if my comment hurt you. I was being goofy and didn't mean to be cruel. I still would appreciate an apology. Or, muffled mentioned a change in wording, would you be willing to rephrase your earlier post instead?

Acceptance by the "family"?I'm sorry the role of the deputies wasn't more clear. Their main function in that role is to try to maintain an atmosphere of civility. Posters are the primary source of support and education. They're the "family" to look to for acceptance.
I'm also sorry I wasn't more responsive myself to your emails. My role is administrative, too. And I don't have as much time for it as I'd like.

OK, so far, I've just been mostly reading posts by skimming them, but I am curious now, what happened here?
What happened with JadeKelly and Verne? Can someone enlighten me?
I'd like to help out if I can.

In reply to Just curious, what happened here?, posted by Deneb on April 14, 2009, at 8:38:32
Near as I can figger Bob is going bonkers trying to get Verne and Jadekelly to apoplogize for some reason.
I think they felt they have?
And other than that, just noise I think.
'Cept Jade announced she's leaving,and why, so I don't s'pect Bob will be getting any more from her.
I think Bob is mebbe trying something new, but as usu hasn't told anyone...though its pretty obvo.
If it were me, I'd just frikken apoplogize to put Bob out of his obsessive misery, cuz who cares about whether you feel true about it really?
Apologize, do my piece for peace, whether I beleive in what I am saying or not.
Do no harm.
Mebbe do good, for the greater good?
My sib used to make me beg for stuff. I used to stubbornly refuse. Then I learned I could just put on a 'show', beg in the real world, but in my HEAD, I was NOT. Then LOL, I got what I wanted, with very little pain. I learned not to care. I learned that life is not fair. And just to roll with the punches, cuz punches allus come.
Fight important battles, but let the rest go.
That way I survive.
Right , wrong?
I don't care.
I just look for peace at the lowest cost. Apologizing seems a cheap deal. Words, who f'ing cares?
I don't give a rats *ss bout Bob, but I do care bout babblers and if my apologizing might cause Bob to do less blocking, then I would do it. For babblers. Not for me, not for Bob. LOL, but for 'The Herd'.
I dunno.
I not so smart.
You seem pretty strong Deneb. Thats good. You need to be to be here.
take care of yourself.

That was a very heartfelt post-and you are very courageous for telling your story. I didn't know you have gone thru so much in such a short time, but I always knew you were a very strong person. I also think its great you have such a wonderful family (and don't take it for granted). I was also sorry to hear your pain from actions taken on this forum, and wish you the best of luck with your new websites.

Hi d/r - and i see how YOUR Dr. Bob argument was sooo much more persuasive than mine. You know, there's been a lot out since toeffler--Wikinomics, for example. So, maybe YOU are behind the times too! Newt Gingrich? Why do people bring Newt Gingrich into unrelated topics? And not everyone meets Newt Ginrich in gradeshool. Hmm. Not only are you an antibrotelligentist, but now I see you are also a Newt-Gingrich-conversation-injector.
You just wait...I was at a specialty store the other day and saw they had UNCUT spaghetti - it was 2 1/2 FEET LONG!! I'd be more careful if I were you. ha.

Hey Verne,
Sorry you feel that way about Dr. Bob. I think maybe you hurt Dr. Bob's feelings. I think Dr. Bob tries the best he can, he's not perfect. (Scary thought though LOL)
How would you feel if Dr. Bob wrote the same things about you?
I think it was very considerate of Dr. Bob to apologize.
I think it would be great if you could forgive Dr. Bob and try to rephrase your post to Dr. Bob.
Being blocked sucks. Are you sure you want to be blocked Verne? We like you here. :-)
It seems like Dr. Bob likes you here as well or else he wouldn't go to so much trouble to get us to help you not be blocked.

I don't remember posting last night. I hope I wasn't too mean. Two day bender's do that to me.
I'm sorry for all the trouble I caused. Any time I post on the administration board, I'm up to no good.
Please ignore my drunken posts. I'm usually trying to insert drama where there isn't any.
This is my last post until I've been sober a year. I recently had 6 months of sobriety (2 years is my modern record) Frankly, I'm too ashamed of myself to post anyway.

Thanks, I really do appreciate that.
Now that you mention it, I guess another possible reason for not apologizing (and getting blocked) could be self-loathing.
