Karen we totally agree, if you see my last post above. The point we do not necessaily agree on is some how some people can be run off..I agree MOST choose to leave or Dr Bob blocks/removes them..If I ever leave it will be because I want to or the place is no longer comfortable, safe, fun ..whatever word applies...or I am blocked which is honestly no big deal to me because I would then just leave. I am mainly speaking for the people who DO leave because they feel silenced. That bothers me and I see their point. If they see their name posted all over or their post is mucked up with negative comments..in some cases they have left and *they* were NOT uncivil even to Dr Bob..I know this as I get email from a few and NOT the ones someone else posted.
You make perfect sense for me and you and others , as far as removed or choosing to leave...but some people are honestly so hurt by some things said that they feel run out of here that to me is ..sad and not necessary.
I too like to see some sun on the boards and try to add much both in fun ways and through support of others..You will seldom see me post for help. You will not see me complain unless it is to help someone who cannot seem to speak up for themself> i think the thing to remember is that we are all here for a reason. and at times we all get hurt while we are here. and it's unfortunate, very much so. but, we have to choose whether the pros outweigh the cons. so, some people are more sensitive than others. i know that i often post things that i wonder if others are offended by (and that's not my intention, i just know that at times it helps to smile when the board looks blue).

> but, i do know that no one (and i mean no one) will run me off (except perhaps mr bob :) until i'm good and ready to leave. so, complain, curse, knock on my door if you must. but, everyone else has just as much right to be here as the last person. no one can run another person off this board (again, with the exception of dr. bob) unless that person lets someone get to them. i try not to allow other people to get to me that much. i realize that people sometimes complain. and sometimes people say things that hurt my feelings as well (huh? i have feelings?) but, they are entitled to their feelings as much as i am. i choose to either ignore the comment or respond. just remember that when responding, do so in a CIVIL manner. if not, you may get booted for a while, and that's not pleasant :(
