Happy, correct me if i m mistaken, but I think you may be expressing the hurt you still feel for having been blocked in a way that appeared uncalled-for and excessively long. To confine my post just to the present, there are three of us- Alex, Happy and me, who all feel that we were blocked both unfairly and for excessively long periods.
I think there is something that can be learned from us. Whereas we once all felt trusting, supported and cared for here, and valued the relationships and interchanges we had, we now are all feeling and acting traumatized. The site we trusted rejected us and hurt us- REALLY HURT US- and for what possible reason? There is no reason in the world to ever do that to anyone, much less for the administrator of a mental health site to do that to any of the posters who are part of his community.
Bob owes each of us a heartfelt apology, and a genuine commitment to never again use the blocking function of this site in a way that is traumatizing to anyone, or harmful to their mental health, or to their journey towards recovery. Several people have recently asked this of him, but he has suddenly become silent. We would not ask it of him if it were not vital for our continued safe and healthy participation here. Because a number of posters have said this same thing in various ways, I hope Bob will understand that it would be irresponsible of him not to respond to us in a sincere and constructive manner. It is long past the time when genuine, serious problems having to do with how this site is administered can be addressed by throwing out more and more slightly irrelevant questions. At least one answer is needed now.
