I've been here about a year, and have been PBC'd four (or five?) times. What I'm learning is that sometimes expressing EXACTLY how I feel is the WORST way to do it, here on Babble.
No one can "read" your face. No one can see the tears streaming down it.Generally speaking, I tend to qualify all my responses as "what I have experienced" as opposed to "this is my opinion". That way if people think I am blowing smoke up their collective (insert recent banned word expressed here)'s, at least they understand that I'm speaking from a personal perspective.
Otherwise, I get into a lot of trouble. I cannot stand that anyone thinks ill of me - that's a huge source of anxiety for me. I want to be everyone's friend. It just isn't possible.I'd suggest, if you think that you're being singled out, that you address it directly here on the boards - in an extremely civil manner, of course - and if you don't get a straight answer, email Dr. Bob. It's his show, after all.
