More of my attempt at humor.
Thought it was about time for BDC to let his/her real feelings be known, and it puts a lot of things in a more appropriate context (about what was underlying his/her posts).
I do hope BDC will be blocked for the sake and well-being of others here.

Please ban me bob. No hard feelings. Pehaps you could use some psychological help to deal with the stress of your role here. How was that?
> > Thought it was about time for BDC to let his/her real feelings be known, and it puts a lot of things in a more appropriate context (about what was underlying his/her posts).I have no idea what your talking about. All my feelings are real! Please don't be judgemntal. I've e-mailed bob re context. It's not a mystery just private :)

> I do hope BDC will be blocked for the sake and well-being of everyone here including the incomparable BRIO !!Thanks for the support shar. I agree :) I think PB is a great fit for you but not for me. I hope the grim life you've lived will be everything you want. But that kind of life (or board is not for me :) Although I COULD always change my underwear like I changed my mind and posted again this morning! Who knows?

um necessary to ban me forever. (And you may consider that retracted after I'm gone :) I trust your professional armour has protected you from too much damage! Incivility is foreign to me but it seems that was what was called for to meet your banning requirements!( I don't deny my anger only suggest the hyperbole was only in the cause of banning) I of course will choose to think the best of you and interpret your baffling decisions in the brightest light as I look back. And shall send you undepression waves and hopes for a life less grim than psycho more blessed than babble. And success in all you do!

You haven't dashed my faith in you one whit. I still care a lot about you, Brio. And I still think all the things I've ever told you are true. Please don't doubt that.
You are one chimpulous chimp.

Nice modification of what I actually wrote. If only the real world worked that way.

>I hope the grim life you've lived will be everything you want.
I think that's sort of a nasty thing to say.
Unfortunately, the grim life I've lived is not what I wanted, nor what I would wish on anyone else, including the incomparable Brio. I believe everyone deserves a chance, and, imo, I've seen more chances and leniency on this board than ever existed in my grim life. Thank you for characterizing my ugly existence in such a real way. Especially since you MAY know I am now in the abyss, when it would hurt the most.
I wish you nothing but the best, and a lot of good help!

May I send you my best wishes? And a ladder; no need to stay down there.

Shar,
I thought you were most gracious in your response to what appeared to be a (for lack of a better term due to meds fog) low blow while you're down.
Head high honey. You've got plenty of people offering up ladders to climb out of the abyss and others offering to crawl on down in there with you for company.
I could learn a thing or two about civility from your post. To feel so blue and still post kindly shows that you've got a lot more going on in that heart of yours than I have in my poison pit inside my chest ; )
Another hug for good measure ((Shar))

Thank you for your kind thoughts. I'm not sure to make of "no need to stay down there." If I had control of it, I would not be down here. If a ladder, or med, or good thoughts made a difference, I would not be here (it sure does not feel like a choice!). So, I'll add it to my list of other conundrums.Thanks again,
Shar

You amaze me with the kindness you show even when you are feeling as cruddy as you are. Thank you for pointing out my CBT lesson for the day ; )
Hoping the pit is growing shallower and lighter. If not then holler and I'll send a torch and help Ron with that ladder.

Dinah, here. Acting as deputy for Dr. Bob.
As you noted, you're not supposed to post while blocked. So now I'm going to have to block you for an additional two weeks.

Posted by Dinah on July 3, 2003, at 16:57:30
I believe that there is an additional two week block for posting while blocked for one week. But as deputy, I let Dr. Bob sort out the technicalities.
--
Dinah, thanks for doing that. FYI, my current procedure is to block the new name for good and to extend the block of the old name.
I've deleted the posts under the new name. And the responses to them, except for the above. I hope everyone has a good 4th,
Bob

> -GracieGracie, I have seen this entire thing unfold like a train wreck I couldn't stop. I am aching from the hurt on all sides. I could see that Shar interpreted Brio's post to Dr. Bob differently than I did. Based on the context of other posts on Admin from Brio, I saw that post as a semi-humorous attempt to be blocked. I could see that Shar interpreted it differently, and from her interpretation said that it would be for the good of all the board if Brio was blocked. When I read that, I winced, because I was pretty sure that it was based on a misinterpretation of Brio's motives and I also knew I would be pretty hurt if I read that about myself. Sure enough, it would appear that Brio was hurt, and from that hurt said things that hurt Shar. And I was so sad to see Shar hurt. And so on and so on.
It's all dreadfully unfortunate, but Brio is not a "monkey person" or a bad source. Brio is just a hurting poster.
I wish there was something I could have done to derail the process along the way. And I wish there was something I could do to fix it now. It hurts me to see two posters I like both hurting.
I have this nasty desire to fix things that I just can't fix.

Dinah,
Sometime you just have to recognize what is beyond your control. You have a heart of gold but even with that goodness you can't champion the underdog each and every time. I understand where you are coming from as a place of kindness but sometime we just have to step back, take a deep breath and release what is beyond our control. Painful as it may be....
I've just had to let go of a friend who has been hospitalized and I'm am not aware of how they are doing post-release. It is out of my hands and I cannot control what takes place. All I can do is send my good thoughts and wishes and pray that life gives this person what they need to keep on keepin' on.
best wishes DM,
zh

Still confused as to whether or not the additional blocks are from the date of first being blocked (tacked onto July 1st) or the second infraction end run around the block by using a different name, thus being two weeks from July 3rd, the second infraction.
Please clarify.
Thanks.
Hope you had a fun, safe and sane (sheesh I sound like a public safety announcement!) 4th of July.

Okay, I got upset because Shar got upset, and she got upset because...The whole thing just got way out of hand, hurt feelings all around, and I had nothing to do with any of it in the first place. Third man to jump into a hockey fight is the one who gets kicked out of the game entirely while everybody else just has to go sit in the penalty box for a little while.

Nawww, I'm sorry Gracie. I shouldn't have directed the post to you, I guess. I was just frustrated at my inability to help.
You can skate on out.
Did you ever read the Cat in the Hat series book, "A Fly Went By"?

My therapist is trying to wean me of the habit. And I think I held out a bit longer this time. But it's darn hard for the designated peacemaker (in my family of origin) to do.
