I don't think you are kind. I like you but I think your exploitation of thirdworld people for your own emotional gratification is deplorable. You are destroying someone else's culture while touristing about spreading the culture you find so much pleasure in holding in contempt. And you're patronising sentimentality is not kindness it's consumption. But I am glad you are not dying I was freaked out this morning. At least the days of people posting suicide threats on Babble is over right?
Please lobby bob for permanent voluntary blocks. I think his pride in his "empire" makes it impossibe for him to realize that for some of us blocks aren't deaths, they are freedom! The advantage of voluntary blocks over simply staying away is that a block is at least a statement of repudiation for the "empire". As long as there is a possibility of posting there is an element of membership. It's like a club you can't get out of. If you join a book club and it evolves into the Hitler youth and they won't take you off the membership rolls etc etc etc.
I've always been kind too. We just have differnet definitions.
