I don't think it's possible to burn bridges *on* Babble. And I think Dr. Bob's civility rules are partly to thank for that. People generally respect someone who can admit they weren't quite what they wished to be and would like to start over. I've done it a few times.
Not that I remember anything all that awful that you did, but I don't read all the boards.
I echo Partly Cloudy's suggestion that you find someone who can be your civility buddy. Civility buddies are good not only for reviewing posts, but also for venting a bit off board so that following the civility guidelines on board is a bit easier.
I'm afraid I don't know all your story yet, but I'm always glad to get to know new friends.
