> I stand by what I wrote to Phillipa. Every one of my words was written out of concern for what she herself had written previously. You cannot have posters writing about themselves here in ways that genuinely worry other posters without the others expressing strong concern. I am not uncivil in any way, but, when it comes to you, Bob, I can count on you misunderstanding me in a negative way every single time. You have been doing it for years now, to the point where I have become completely indifferent to anything you say to me. But I still do have caring responses to posters like Phillipa when they express extreme distress.
Twinleaf,
I don't judge your posts addressing individual members of the community members as being uncivil in spirit. Not at all. I am more inclined to judge those posts of yours that motivate commentary and sanction by this website's moderator/owner as being enlightening and promoting mental health rather than sabotaging it. If your words toward a fellow poster are "strong", I see it as an example of "tough love" (for lack of a better term).
The only posting behavior that you might deem counterproductive at some point is your banter with Dr. Bob. "Technically", your verbiage towards him qualifies as being uncivil. If it is more important to you that you interact with rest of the community, you might find it necessary to tolerate Dr. Bob's behaviors and, perhaps, ignore them altogether.
I get really scared when you are blocked from posting here. My greatest fear is that you won't return. In my mind, you are among the 5 most important contributors to the PB community.
I really like you.
