I do b-mail people when I think they getting wound up.
I have seen threads where people HAVE worked out their differences , often with the help of other babblers.The prob is BOB.
The prob is blocks where few seem to truly understand where the heck the block came from?
And when we ask bout it, there's often no clear answer given.
There's so many times where we wonder 'will I be blocked?', because its SO unclear.
Blocks hurt as much as they do,due in part to their LENGTH.And the unknown of how long it will be.So I think many of us ALREADY help where we can, either by b-mail or on the thread itself......
But we keep running into one liner Bob....
Immutable Bob...
So sorry if I stray from the topic, but this is where alot of the hurt comes from I think.
Its the shock of the unexpected.
The injustice we feel when we personally blocked, or when a friend is blocked and it makes so little sense.
At least at my drop in center, the blocks are not contested cuz they OBVIOUS.
Here its often not so.
My2 cents.
