--To those who strongly agree on the necessity of moderator intervention, civility warnings and the inevitable blocks: what are you afraid of? What would happen to YOU if this PBC and block stuff wasn't in play? --
I don't get your question of "what are you afraid of". I can tell you what I'm not afraid on on babble. I'm not afraid of getting bullied and belittled when I'm at my lowest. I'm not in favour of the length of some of the blocks and I've been blocked myself...and I deserved it..
If the civility guidelines were not in play here, I'd leave..I can't stand bullying and this site tries to keep that at a minimum. I have enough on my plate without becoming a punching bag. I've seen it happen too many times on other forums.
--What would you do if other members could react in a brutally honest fashion?--
I think you can be brutally honest here. However, I quess it's how you define brutally honest. Knowingly phrasing something in a sarcastic and unkind manner may appear to be brutally honest, but the underlying intention is to hurt.
--Would your own "mental health" deteriorate as a result?--
No..my mental health is deteriorating nicely on its own.
What else might occur if the "thought police" weren't zealously going about their business?
A whole lot of nastiness..but that's just my opinion. If I wanted nastiness and chaos I'd belong to forums that allow that type of behaviour.
That's about all my brain can come up with for now. Regards..
