The full statement for which I was blocked was, "Others besides myself have tried to address this issue and ended up leaving, all for just wanting to at least modify (if not squelch) a behavior they find accusatory and offensive."
Although I did mention a particular poster in that post, the *statement* was about BEHAVIOR, not a person.
Once again, because there is only one particular poster who habitually engages in this behavior, some assume I am talking about this person whenever I talk about the BEHAVIOR. This is not surprising, since one of the published possible topics for this board is "dealing with particular posters." In fact, when I first tried to deal with this behavior, I named a particular poster from the start. But even my kick-off post on that thread started and ended with the same question: What to do about posters LIKE [a particular poster]. Even then, I was addressing essentially the BEHAVIOR, acknowledging that others may have engaged in or might yet engage in such behavior.
Finally, FWIW, my first block was for two weeks and this one was for six. I know there are others here who feel that blocks like this one are not only excessive, but also inconsistent. I don’t plan on being an active “Babbler” anymore, but I wanted to make these observations for the record. I once felt this site was administered fairly – and that it was a healthy place for mental-health consumers – but I do not feel that way any longer.
