phillipa,
Many here are awaiting your return, hope you are OK and will rejoin us soon. Boy a week seems like a long time without your name around. You were missed by many here, especially since many of us questioned why you were even blocked to begin with. As a result of your block, some others were also blocked, supporting you. So you have friends here, for sure.
All I want you to know is that no matter how many people do not appreciate your presence here, you have a right to be here as much as anyone else. The world is full of many people that others cannot tolerate for one reason or another. It is not their right to try and limit your participation here. Who made them right and you wrong? Tolerance of others is what being human, or rather humane, is all about. We all are not the same and others do not have the right to try and restrict your participation by intimidation and criticism. I think you are picked on because of your frequency in posting and being off topic on some posts, but is that a good enough reason to ostracize you?
Being put in a mold that someone else creates is not allowing you to exercise your freedom here either. This site, as far as I know,is for everyone struggling with their own demons and deficiencies, and yours have every right to be here too. Those that object to your posts, should just skip over them. I bet most that criticize your posts also read them. It would be hard not to read them even if you say you don't find any value in them. They can be very interesting.
I find many posters who I skip over and that is the best way to handle that. Style and content is important for me. Time is also a consideration so every post is impossible to read unless this is your full time job. Not to put you down if it is, but you know what I mean.
Looking forward to your return and comments on your days in the slammer or wherever you spent your "time".
