Dr Bob, I would also like you to be civil. I found that you made a significant change without letting us know. If you were going to do this, you could have found a way to let only new stuff be posted but this goes all the way back to our archives posts. Posts which a huge majority of this website said no too posting on Twitter or Facebook. I feel betrayed by you, therefore the conclusion I concluded after I asked you to honor no Twittering or Facebook sharing is to find that now a simply button places any post anytime by anyone , how else can I feel about what you have done.
I have things posted here that i havent' shared with my p-doc and therapists nor family so how would I want it all shared on two public forums that is not directly involved with trying to support mental health like Babble is suppose to. I wasn't uncivil I reacted as someone who felt betrayed. And your response is to just say don't put anyone down meaning you. How about how you made me feel. Did you address it. I emailed you prior to posting but you, Dr. Bob have upset me in a way that no one has in a long while. I feelthat as a professional md who specializes in mental health your changes are not to be made lightly but you often act in a way that without knowing what is in your head or heart we are left to feel powerless. That is a dangerous emotion in most people but those that joined this site to find support, I feel you must think more carefully than the creators of Twitter or Facebook. I went looking on Twitter for your site and I came across just in the search engine people calling each other vulgar language, it is obvious there is no civility guidelines for that site and yet you(Dr. Bob), who takes your own civility guidelines quite seriously ask us to be open about our words and our own issues just being posted there without our knowledge and on sites that civility is not a concern. I can't understand this. I feel betrayed and now with your response of giving me my PBC which is only directed at your actions, I see you haven't really heard me.
So again, I don't need links to how to be civil, I need open information about why you took the actions you took. Because ultimately Dr. Bob I reacted to you and you gave me a form letter to protest my response to your actions. My post only led to you feeling put down, because I said Dr. Bob and he. I know that all the others posters here know who I am talking about, how are you going to response so I don't feel put down now for a PBC.
Are you, Dr. Bob, concerned at all about how we feel?
I guess it is just time to find another support system. Babble's time for me has run out.So can you honor my request to have all my posts to stay within the confines of Babble and not on Twitter or Facebook. I can see that I am no longer welcomed here by you, Dr Bob, or you would have answered me, not PBC'd me.
Goodbye, I will continue checking to make sure my posts stay where they need to. And check your records, I know what is civil and not, I haven't been PBC'd in three years time. So I don't need an education I need real responses from you. But I did not get them. I got patted on the head instead.
Good luck with Babble Dr Bob, I think it might be a sinking ship.
