I'm removing myself, so don't worry about please restate or pbc or anything. I'm upset and more and more anxious and it's not even directed at me. take care of yourself, judy

Do what you need to do to feel safe, but don't remove yourself too far. We sensitive people of the world need to support each other. :)
And your post didn't sound remotely uncivil to me, for what it's worth.

Have you considered using the other Boards and not bothering with PBAdmin, at least for a while? Dr Bob is the only one who *has* to follow the posts on this Board, and he seems pretty resilient (fortunately).
Would be a shame for you to miss out on anything you get from the other Boards...

I'm sorry that disagreement is not pleasant for you. But this is the Administration board. It deals with how the boards are run. And when we don't like how something is run, this is the place we say so.
A few months ago, this board had its dander up because of Lou's religious post. Lots of people (maybe you? maybe Dinah? I can't remember) suggested that posters who were bothered by his posts ignore them.
Something good came from that: a faith board, where Lou could post in peace (or so we'd have thought).
Iso and I (and Zo and Krazy Kat several others) have not been so lucky.

i agree - the "constant complainers" have no idea how far-reaching their negativity is
they try to use reasoning like "dont read it if you dont want to" or "thats what this board is for" or "thats how change is accomplished" or "we have a right to know" etc etc
but all those "reasons" are just excuses for them to keep bringing others down
constantly complaining about the very system that the majority of people love is anything BUT supportive (to the people that need help here, not just dr bob)
so while those of you out there continue to insist that its your "right" to rail against a privately-run site the same way you might against a government institution that is open to such scrutiny, remember that *YOU* are not helping the situation
*** in your minds, you tell yourselves that you are trying to make things better, but really, you are only trying to make things better for yourselves ***
if you want a board that will be run exactly the way you want it to be, get your own board - and thts not some hate and sarcasm filled statement - i mean it sincerely - no one would blame you for creating your own "comfort zone" - but this is somebody else's board and A LOT OF US LIKE IT JUST THE WAY IT IS!

hrtlm,
Could you continue with your analysis of the current situation? I am interested in you explaining more because I think you are revealing something that you see and I beleive that what you are saying could be helpful to the posters here.
Thanks,
Lou

I have tried to reply three times to this post. However, every time I don't change URLs my server thinks I've gone away and disconnects me. I am in a quandry; maybe I should post in chapters but I'd rather not.
Having been a longtime lurker and inconsistent poster in '99, I have again, found the need for solace usually found here. After much trouble trying to find this site when it was off the net for awhile and then the hassle of trying to comprehend directions to register and then confirm apparantly within a certain time period, I have finally gotten back.
I need this place but it has changed. It's chaotic and, somehow scary and in a way hateful. I don't need that. No matter how much turmoil all of us are in, there is still a peace among us that's supposed to invite a person to dump any thought, good, bad or ugly. I don't feel the real caring that I experienced before.
All I want is someone to hold my hand through the words on this URL -- to tell me the night or especially the day will end. I will not fall apart. I do love, I just don't feel it and people do love me. I want to see others offer that to others. But that seems so impossible now. It's so loud and clear the negativity could never be disguised.
I would add my support to those posts above, especially hrtml. I respectfully listened to the other side. I disagree with the "inability" (I'm afraid that that is going to be a volatile word and I don't mean to trigger another explosion. I just don't know a benign word to use) to give up when the "authority" figure, the one who owns the structure states that after listening toyour ideas, he chooses to respond the way he has. The rules are there. God, I didnt mean to say all that. Please,please agree to disagree and change the tenor of the board. I think i'm being a little selfish, but my world is cold and now this place is turning into the real world. It no longer feels like a sanctuary.

I understand that you don't like the tension, but please respect the views of others, be sensitive to their feelings, and don't post anything that they could take as accusatory or put them down. I've asked you to be civil before, so now I'm going to block you from posting for a week.

> *YOU* are not helping the situation"Constant" can be counterproductive, but different points of view are fine, and in fact encouraged, and providing feedback is in fact one way of trying to make the situation better.

I think it may be Adamie. I changed it above.
Either way, he's supposed to be blocked.

As Tina said, when you're blocked you're not supposed to post, so I've extended your block for another week.
