and balance...
it is about balance of course.
you do say a lot of helpful and supportive things to other people.
and sharing your experiences can help people feel less alone with theirs...
it is just the aims of the site...
support and education for one another.
to get into that... instead of worrying about bob too much (easier said than done methinks)
er...
regarding what you were talking about before (the instance of unfairness...)
you were doing an archive trawl, huh?
i think i know what particular instance you were talking about...sometimes he does miss things.
reading a post quickly etc... easy enough to miss an odd swear word.
and then someone else gets blocked for same / similar word.
and that does look unfair.
and that is probably the time to go post to admin (or via email) i got blocked for that word here and this other person didn't get blocked for that same word over there.
and i personally have faith things would be sorted at that point.
but some wouldn't.
have you been getting emails about this Deneb?
i'm wondering because i've had people try and convince me of the inherent unfairness in bob's decisions via email...
is that what is going on for you?
IMO what really made him unsympathetic... was the person assuming the worst (inherant unfairness) and going off about it.
going off...
tends to lead to someone getting blocked.
why?
maybe...
'cause it diverts the boards from their real purpose of supporting and educating one another.
