Dinah, you and Phillipa aren't the same. When it appears that Phillipa is being bullied here, it causes you to remember and re-experience the pain you felt when that happened to you as a child. That was a situation in which you had done nothing wrong whatsoever.
In this present situation, there have been allegation for several years, and by at least several people, that Phillipa has caused anxiety or harm to others by how she used e-mails or Babblemails. These are allegations only. The people who feel they have been harmed by this are posting here to try to prevent that from happening again in the future. They do have a right to speak up against what they perceive as injustices dome to them. They are thus fundamentally different from the children who bullied you in middle school - there was absolutely no reason or justification for that.
I think it would help tremendously if Bob helped out in this situation. in making sure that the civility rules are being followed when it comes to Babblemails, We need his assurance that this site is being run fairly and equitably. This would help a great deal to allay the distress and animosity which is developing in this thread and in others.
