Ok, we have this from April 12, 2002:
---"It's hard to argue against "mercy". But I'm trying to think of the community as a whole and not just one individual. Who, after all, is free to go elsewhere for support. "The good of the many outweighs the good of the few."

Now we have this from November 1, 2002:---"The issue here, IMO, is balancing the needs of posters and readers. Expressing their pain in an uncivil way may help the poster and some readers, but may hurt other readers. And in general, I'd rather have fewer people helped than more people hurt. ...Bob" http://www.dr-bob.org/babble/admin/20020918/msgs/8066.html
But then on August 6, 2003:
---"Sorry about that. I know, it might be better to say "please post only civil messages" or something like that to differentiate between the behavior, which is the issue, and the person, which isn't. But "please be civil" is more succinct and has become a kind of tradition...
>what I object to is the consequences of blocking someone from a certain "therapy" (which I believe this board provides).<
I regret that, too, but "the good of the many outweighs the good of the few":

Bob" http://www.dr-bob.org/babble/admin/20030508/msgs/248591.htmlSo Kelly I don't know what to tell you with that kind of crazy making policy around here.
I hope you take care and do what is best for you to maintain sanity.
