> tweets are sent out to others on purpose. It's actually not that different to being spammed with trash in your inbox. It's a massive difference in my book mate.
> Twitter is spam that is received without asking for it.
Actually, you choose whom you "follow" on Twitter. And if they tweet you what you consider spam, you can "unfollow" them.
> I think it will bring bullies in, without question. I hope it doesn't though, for everyone's peace of mind and all the wonderful people who made this place somewhere for me to seek refuge in times of crisis.
I think one reason for us-them thinking can be seeing in others what we don't like about ourselves. Babblers are wonderful. Yes, much of the time. As has been mentioned above, Babblers are also sometimes bullies, or at least can lead others to feel bullied. And being uncivil doesn't necessarily mean being a bully, but this is already my fourth PBC on this thread.
> Good luck Dr. Bob, I feel you are not the ethical person I thought you were and I don't appreciate you trying to sugar coat your deceptive lies using me as an example and taking the excerpts of my posts that suited you. I felt that that was passive aggressive bullying on your behalf. I also felt like that was the biggest bitter pill I've ever had to swallow.
Please don't post anything that could lead others (including me) to feel accused or put down.
But please don't take this personally, either, this doesn't mean I don't like you or think you're a bad person, and I'm sorry if this hurts you.
More information about posting policies and tips on alternative ways to express oneself, including a link to a nice post by Dinah on I-statements, are in the FAQ:

http://www.dr-bob.org/babble/faq.html#enforceFollow-ups regarding these issues, as well as replies to the above post, should of course themselves be civil.
Thanks for wishing me good luck. I'm sorry this pill has been so big,
Bob
