Thanks for the offer! but I couldn't be uncivil to you. But you have given me an idea-I could re-register, insult myself and earn 2 PBCs-one for posting under 2 names and one for insulting myself. I feel like I'm going crazy. I don't know if I'm serious or just being silly. Thanks for the sympathy.
> I don't mean to be flippant about it. I do remember my frustration. And I did try the self-incivility. I couldn't quite bring myself to be uncivil to someone else, even those who kindly offered :). But if you really feel you need a break from the board, and don't have the self discipline, I'll offer my services as a recipient of uncivil behavior.

That didn't work, and I just ended up with a content advisor that acts up occasionally and that I can't turn off. Well, I turn it off but it keeps turning itself back on.

I think the effect would have been different if Dr. Bob had agreed to block me, or if I had gotten myself blocked by being uncivil. The third or fourth time I came back, I was able to do so from a much healthier vantage point. Hmmm. I'm not sure that was inspiring.
