I certainly don't speak for Dr. Bob. He did admit in a post he notified the police some time ago concerning Jeroen. I suggest you do an archive search. It might shed some light on the situation. Whether you agree or disagree with Dr. Bob's methods, I do think he has our best interests at heart.
Peace

Clearly something extreme and out of the ordinary happened. I would bet that most of us are not in any danger of having the police called on us, no matter how many Psychobabble rules, such as civility rules, we happen to break. Breaking civility or babble rules isn't against the law. Even rudeness isn't against the law, though it's unpleasant. Forgetting to use proper quotes on books, accidently listing an online pharmacy, discussing your marijuana usage back in college, posting under multiple names, name-calling- none of that behavior should result in any police action. Those aren't CRIMINAL offenses. The most terrible behavior on babble should ultimately result in being blocked, at worst-which isn't against the law, and couldn't possibly go on any police record. Unless they are threatening others with violence, setting up an illegal drug laboratory, engaging in identity theft, soliciting minors, etc- I think most people can take a deep breath and trust things are ok and in order.

This is a good point though not anything I didn't think of but if we jump to the conclusion this is true then we could lead the poster to feel accused and put down and that would not be civil ...That is why I think many of us would like Dr Bob to say yes or no on the name calling.

Oh boy. Maybe this wasn't worded well or thought out properly. What I wanted to express is that I think the average poster is pretty secure from police action, and that police are likely only contacted in extreme and unusual circumstances-not for breaking babble rules. My sincerest apologies if anyone feels accused in any way because of what I wrote. At this point I have already long been thinking abstractly, no longer about the original post which led to the discussion. I have no more idea about that than anyone else, and do not wish to speculate about it. Thank you for clarifying your line of thinking for me, Fallen4myT. The discussion makes more sense to me now, and again, I hope I did not cause anyone to feel accused. Your points are enlightening.

I do not feel you made any assumptions or any of that..sorry .....I mean in general we are not to assume so for me..thats why I want Dr Bob to weigh in on this. I have been here MANY years..and no cops here ...but one has to wonder whats up ..and I have to beleive what the poster said (by civil rules I think?) till I am shown otherwise. Dr Bob did not say to that poster he didnt do it for name calling...but he did say he did report that person a year ago....as it didnt reply to the WHOLE post ...I hope for clarification...But to ME nobody has been uncivil...I hope this makes sense :)

He can't post the URL because that would be uncivil under site guidelines.
Dr. Bob won't talk about posters, because he just wouldn't do that.
The police are not called for violation of site civility guidelines.

My feeling is whatever happened, happened off the list. For that reason, and others, means to me that we are not privy to any info on this.

Whatever happened it caused something here and a board member is involved, so we have all the right for an explanation.Is this a mental health board or not?

I understand. Dr. Bob had done the same to (for) me a few years back.
It can seem like it is an invasion of your privacy, but this is an internet site so any information you give is available to everybody.
In hindsight, Dr. Bob may be saving lives by letting somebody know if somebody is at risk to themselves or others.
I know it can seem harsh when you get contacted by people who are wondering if you are going to hurt yourself, but I'm sure the policy has saved lives so I am not angry.
