Dr. Bob: I'd like to echo the expressions of gratitude voiced by Nikki and Noa. PB means a great deal to me and I certainly don't want fuel fires and risk being silenced. BUT I have a great deal of trouble discerning the difference between posts that appear to provoke you into blocking someone and posts that don't seem to bother you at all. I was very upset over your decision to block Hannah, particularly at a time when she seemed to be in such distress, although having read the reactions of some of those that she targeted, I guess it may have been justified. However, I think Dasypodidae has made every attempt to defend her and those in similar circumstances in a way that I have found to be civil and restrained. I thought Gracie did more than insinuate that Dasypodidae might take some pleasure in her hurt, and I think anyone would have trouble not responding to that. All in all I thought his (or her) response was pretty diplomatic. Also, Dasypodidae is hardly alone in expressing the desire or aspiration to stop or cut back on posting. I'm sure he didn't mean to give up the choice to decide when or how best to do this. Occasionally (and mostly lately) I can read the posts here and feel like I come from a different planet. Do you have a standard of civility in mind that I'm simply not understanding? Maybe you could be clearer about this. ksvtksvt
I was astonished at your interpretaion of Hannah's stay here...
