I've never been blocked here, or anywhere else. I've posted tens of thousands of times over the past several years on several sites, and I've managed to find the edge, but not cross it.One rule of thumb I follow is that I try not to post here when I'm either way up or way down. Sometimes when things are really bad, I do post here, but I'm usually in a state of sadness rather than anger, and that attitude doesn't normally lend itself to abusive or insensitive comments.
I'm really not trying to convince you that you're wrong. I understand the points that you and some other posters have made, and most of them aren't unreasonable. But I've learned over decades of dealing with the real suffering of BP, and a divorce, and raising 4 kids (one of whom is just 4 months old), and an overwhelming job, that there's just so much energy I can devote to conflict and debate.
Some things we just have to accept as they are. If we were able to accomplish that, maybe some of the good posters who've been blocked and not returned would have just looked at it as a cost of doing business at dr-bob.org, accepted their block good-naturedly even if it seemed heavy-handed, and returned eager to contribute once again.
