> Made me feel unwelcome.
yeah.
i understand.i used to have a really hard time with the notion of blocking people
it reminded me of how my mother used to lock me in my room and shut me away from society it reminded me of her message that i was not fit for human company
:-(
but...
i really don't think it is about that.
i really don't think that it is intended that we will take those messages
i really don't think that it is intended that we will feel that waybut i hear you
yeah
i doi think...
what helped me see things differently...
was that people are welcomed back
that there is a consequence for civility infractions, yeah
a fairly predictable consequence of a blocking
but then all is forgiven
and one is simply accepted backalso i don't think that it is intended to be isolating at all
we can still post to other chat boards
we can still email
and that is goodand the people
the people still care
oh yes they do
i find it sad when people get blocked
i just hope they understand why it happened
so they won't get blocked for that againglad you are back adagrace
you too denebyou are both very welcome here.
