> Well, I want it to be safe here, but it isn't always. And I think people who visit should get an accurate idea of what it's like here. Uncivil posts do get through, and I don't want to make it look like they don't.
>Bob, if there was a child molestor in your neighborhood and you were vulnerable to attack, would you want someone to sweep the evidence under the carpet?
The mood swing is what the mental disorders are all about. Let's not ignore the symptoms by sweeping the ugly parts away. Face it and deal. We all need help and understanding, and that's why we're here.
If three people are in a kerfuffel, the rest can be supportive, or else ignore. By adding fuel to the fire, it keeps it alive. I would never have read the thread if this discussion about it hadn't taken place.
It helps to know who people are. I think this site is all about understanding.
On another board (webhealing.com) a person can delete their own post.
I'm not sure how I feel about your blocking policy. I've never seen it done before, but I'm not a person who sits at the computer all day either. (well some days I do :)
As soon as we try to play God, we find out all too soon that judgement is best left up to Him. Only One with pure understanding can act as judge. However, you are the "god" of this forum, therefore, it is up to you to decide. Though we may question your decisions, you have the right to make them. Many counsel God also, and tell Him what they think of death, suffering, and their personal global positioning system.
Keep up the good work. (I want to write god work, but not appropriate). Sorry if I'm being me again.
