Isn't it a negative to down one's self though? Bad for your self-esteem? Rather depressing? Just running thoughts by?

You don't have to "down oneself" to recognize areas that you might want to improve on. Be constructive in the process of self-improvement. Make a better you. Your self-esteem will improve greatly. I think you have what it takes.
Very important: The failure to attain a goal is not a failure at all. Setting a goal is your first success. Trying and failing is a success. Pat yourself on the back for trying and failing. Just trying is a success. Asking for help is another success. Persistence and resilience is a gift. Patience can be learned. The wisdom of patience comes in knowing that one must give Time time to work.
What, if any, improvements have you made since you first began posting here? Mine are many, and I owe much of it to Psycho-Babble and Dr. Bob. I'm sure some people will berate me for saying that, but I really don't give a F.
Take the best and throw out the rest.

>> these self righteous former deputies and their friends into becoming a lynch mob after Lou?
I feel severely put down by these comments. I also wonder if you truly believe this description, in your heart of hearts?
Would you consider apologizing? Can't we disagree on PB administration methods, rules, philosophies, etc. without name-calling and hyperbole about groups that chase down and murder others? Dialog is stifled in a ad hominem atmosphere, isn't it?

Well I didn't mean it literally. But I meant the spirit of intolerance and the gang mentality. Do I believe you and Dinah are/were self righteous?
Do I ever!*SNORT* But I still think Bob used you badly. I think he is manipulating you even now by holding off on my block trying to force you to "shield" each other ;} And you fell for it didn't you? Maybe he'll post a smarmy little 'thanks' to you.
Wouldn't it have been less distressing for everyone just to give me the block I asked for?
Why do you think Dr Psycho won't allow voluntary blocks . I thought the little episode of your asking for a block and Dr P refusing and offering to discuss your "sin" was demeaning for everyone involved.Did you push the snitch button on me? See we both want the same thing! LOL
Best wishes

what is the difference between a voluntary block and simply choosing not to post?

i think choosing not to post means that you are responsible for your not posting. getting bob to block you for posting makes him responsible (at least in part) for your not posting.
which is perhaps something to do when you feel like it is his fault you don't want to post.
what do you think?

I think Alex is talking about Alex (as usual) :) Don't worry about it.
Civil disobedience? Solidarity with people abused by Dr Psycho and his Babblers? Not having the pressure of feeling an urge to defend Lou and others from the haters and really not being able to do anything effective? Not being a member vs not being an posting member? The fun of manipulating the Grand Manipulator? Repudiating the hateful values of babble? All of the above?

Dear 10derheart,
I hope you are doing well.
I am doing wonderfully.
I hope this post finds you smiling.
:-)
Do you find me to be grandiose?
This is not boring.
This is just very, very old.
I hope you haven't been hurt. Actually, I don't expect that you would be. You have shown quite a bit of strength and resilience in recent times - along with an impressive pair of cojones.
Am I a bully?
You can tell me. I can take it. Nothing can hurt me, anyway. Remember, I am grandiose.

?? Can anyone enforce rules and standards or help with that *without* being self-righteous? I don't know. When I got a ticket for having a light burned out (and I was borrowing someone's car and didn't even know about it) I didn't think because the officer reminded me to follow safety rules that he was being sanctimonious or morally superior to me. Isn't that what it's supposed to mean? I don't understand. what good are people's values if they *aren't* confident in promoting them?
alright then. I'd rather you stay and interact. Maybe we could find common ground, but it's your choice. With Dr. Bob's unique timing and unclear civility rules, you may get to stay and post some more :-)
I guess it's confusing that you want to be blocked (= cannot post) yet you keep posting. But maybe not. I guess I kind of did the same thing.
Of course I reported your post(s). I report posts I see that are uncivil when I see them. Snitch? It's not a negative thing to me.
I didn't fall for anything. I know what he wants now since he (sort of) explained his current style of "administrating." Not to mention when he answered my notification he didn't say yes/no to what he might do but asked me a question about my pet(s) ???
I just thought I'd give communicating with you a try. I never even think of anyone shielding me. I think the wisest are those who stay the hell out of these threads completely.
I hope the people you want to feel supported by your visits and blocks feel that way and get it.

Doesn't it bother you that he blocked twinleaf for 2 weeks? He seems threatened by anyone who questions him.
That's not fair is it? I see him as trying to set posters against each other by being inconsistent.
I also feel like we are being used. I imagine him churning out one of his thirdrate "research" papers about disruptive posters. He's so manipulative. He snips out quotes out of context and bathes himself in sunshine. Yuck.
I think if you REALLY hate this kind of thread you should stay off. I seem to see all kinds of people who decry the drama nevertheless show up and join in!
Best regards to your pets!

I am reposting the post you blocked twinleaf for. Equality and consistency for all! I demand my block. I'd also like it doubled for insulting a privileged class by reporting to all DEPUTY RACER HAS A HUGE HUGE HUGE BUTT!!!!!
Thanks for your prompt consideration.
I think the loss could have been easily avoided if she had been given appropriate recognition and respect by you for the important role she played in trying to help carry out your administrative policies. The last series of posts before she blocked herself seemed to me to be completely lacking in appreciation and respect for her and the other deputies ... all while you were ... breaking your own long-standing administrative policies .

I will assume you have no idea of Racer's disorder and challenges and this is some freakish coincidence.
However, if I'm wrong...that's way, way beyond the pale. In fact, it's sick.
I hope Racer has long ago stopped looking at these threads :-((

I AM sick (thanks for your charming analysis of my post. Bob is the one who posts the rump shots of his travels to see his babblers. I don't make the news I just report it) and I want to spend whatever time is left to me without being a member of "Babble" Is that so much to ask?

Gosh, do you always take things so personally? Now you cut that out, my friend. Got that? ;-)
I posted back to **Dr. Bob** not you, on purpose. He is the one that grossed me out by characterizing these cojones as tender and possibly suggesting that...yucky new posting name. That idea is what was "ewwwwwwwwww."
Cojones is a perfectly acceptable word to me, anyway. What were you supposed to say?
10der has a set of:
'nads?
Nuts?
Balls?
Stones?
Jewels?
(and for our UK readers) Bollocks?
Testicles?I think not, although my laugh meter would have shot up if you had.. :-O
Not to mention you used it to attempt to compliment me. And before you lash yourself another 40 times, I say *attempt* because I don't always accept compliments graciously, thinking they are ridiculous (who? Me? whaaat? huh?) and when I read that I did wonder what I was doing that was so brave.
Staying around here? <shrug> Dinah's braver, IMO.
You are good. Quit sorrying me...or else. ;-)

It appears that way. Psycho-Babble serves some very valuable purposes for me.
