No, after he and his goons block me, no I won't be able to turn off "Babbble mail" which Is on now to facilitate my request that I be removed from membership rolls. If I continue to receive mails after I've been evicted but not allowed to remove my name from his rolls,. I will pursue can-SPAM prosecution.

I would no more cooperate with that to write a book than I would...
I would more likely write a book about how it victimizes people. I made it clear I wanted my membership terminated, I issued warnings and now I'm fighting off the predatory behavior I knew would be a part of response the so-called doctor has trained his select charges to execute.

Continued effort to have membership removed only serves to demonstrate the so-called doctor's refusal to help someone who is obviously distressed by his conduct. Instead of disengaging as requested, he allows his regular bullies to swarm and harass, while the bullies who still hold his special power stand aside and ignore your conduct.

Oh OK, I didn't know that about Babblemail. That seems odd.
Anyways, you can communicate with Dr. Bob without babblemail you know. His email is on the bottom of the page. So you can turn off babblemail and just email him directly if you have any concerns. I think he is busy though, so I would be patient about waiting for his reply. He must get a lot of emails too, so don't feel bad if he doesn't reply. Usually Dr. Bob is not very good at replying.

> Garter Girl, Do not address any more posts to me.
Our engagement should terminate if you stop posting, notifying the administrators, etc. Maybe it would facilitate disengagement if others stopped posting to you, too?
I'm sorry if you're receiving e-mails you can't stop. Notifications of follow-ups and babblemails each come with instructions on how to do that. If those procedures aren't working for some reason, or if you're getting something else without analogous instructions, please let me know, and I'll take care of it.
People who are blocked should still be able to cancel notifications of follow-ups and turn off their babblemail. If that doesn't work for you for some reason, please let me know by e-mail, and I'll take care of it.
It's already been explained to you how you can "block yourself" from posting.
I wouldn't dream of claiming that your registration reflected support for my "bullying".
If you feel harassed here, please follow the procedure at:
http://www.dr-bob.org/babble/faq.html#harassed
Finally, I'd appreciate it if you didn't post anything that could lead others (including me) to feel accused or put down.
But please don't take that personally, it doesn't mean I don't like you or think you're a bad person, and I'm sorry if this hurts you. I don't want anything bad to happen to you. In a crisis, please also get help in person. You may also wish to check out a listing compiled by a poster of helpful web pages on coping with crisis at:

Gardenergirl, I'm sorry if you feel hurt.
More information about posting policies and tips on alternative ways to express oneself are in the FAQ:
http://www.dr-bob.org/babble/faq.html#civil
http://www.dr-bob.org/babble/faq.html#enforceFollow-ups regarding these issues, as well as replies to the above posts, if any, should of course themselves be civil.
Thanks,

Is that a fact? I don't recognize the basis for that claim. Nor does is that diversion responsive to my simple request to be removed from the membership rolls, which any reasonable host would gladly accomodate.

http://www.dr-bob.org/babble/admin/20041109/msgs/425614.html> I feel I'm being raped by a psychiatrist.
I don't in fact consider that an I-statement, see:
http://www.dr-bob.org/babble/faq.html#civil
so I'm going to consider you blocked from posting for 1 week.
> I am captured as a permanent member of your site, where my user name and my statistic as a user contributes to support for claims to be published in research literature that the number of members reflects some meaningful support.
I can see a parallel with rape: feeling you're being used against your will in some way. I have no plans to try to publish claims like that, but I have in the past, so you may be skeptical of what I say my plans are now.
I'm going to make an exception and remove this name. Trying to think this through:
You'll of course no longer be able to use this name to post, etc.
This name will be removed, not just blocked, so someone else could register with it. Which could be confusing, but we can cross that bridge if we come to it.
I'm still considering you blocked for 1 week, so if you change your mind, please wait at least 1 week to re-register and no matter what name you choose then, follow the steps at:
http://www.dr-bob.org/babble/faq.html#names
If you re-engage with this site or me in that or some other way, I may re-engage with you.

This is really great of you, Doctor. Please add my name to the list of those who want to unregister, unsubscribe, disengage. By that I do not mean I expect you to remove any of my posts. I just want my name and number (1) to be removed from membership in this community.
Thanks for understanding, at last, how this simple request can have great meaning to an individual member. I don't support, belong, live in this "community", and have not for years. I think it would have been of great benefit to both me and the community (ask 'em---but it would not be civil of them to answer honestly, of course) if I were no longer counted as a "member", and if when I first asked many years ago you had granted this simple request to unsubscribe..
Thank you, and I'm sure the community thanks you.
To reiterate---- I am only asking for my name to be removed from the rolls, and that one less person be counted in your numbers.

It doesn't matter if you or various other posters don't "get it". It's not a "Just Say No" thing. It's a simple, straightforward , respectful request, and if others find it puzzling or offensive or counterintuitive, so be it. I'm not asking you to understand it. I'm just asking that you respect me and my request. I don't feel I am required to justify myself to you or other posters, I don't feel I'm required to defend my request, and I certainly don't feel I am required to suffer the judgments of others here who seem to feel
my request is incomprehensible and possibly an indictment of some sort.

Because I would feel if you said this to me that it was uncivil and inviting of more conflict. So I need an explanation why You Dr. Bob apologized to her, yet you ask us to try and help things not escalate to the point of someone getting blocked yet this statement seems to cause an escalation of someone asking you a simple request but the whole thing became a conflict.
I don't get it at all. STill shaking my head.

There's some kind of complicated calculus there but I'm damned if I can put it into a formula.
Clearly the declining participation in Babble is important.
Perhaps colonials get an easier ride, along with the young and the vulnerable?
I was reading in the archives a post from Verne in 2004 where he asked to be blocked, so I'm not surprised there, but I simply cannot understand Twinleaf's block unless Bob takes a harder line with professionals (sometimes, but not all of the time)?
Perhaps he doesn't like people taking up issues of principle?
