For the record, I don't think Maxime's block was appropriate, IMHO.
I think the harm of blocking someone may outweight the potential good from defending a single person who may or may not be offended, IMHO.

I agree with Shy_Girl.
I came to Babble to learn to live a happier and healthier life.
Having people post about getting high AND the methods to do it are offensive to me- not the person who let them know they were being offensive!!
If he wanted to talk about getting high, at the very least it should be on Substance Use board, not the med board where there are people trying to get well- not high!!
And that's MY humble opinion...

I agree too, that seems very unfair.

Does everybody hate me now, because I can deal with that.
I am on the road to recovery too, perhaps not as far along as you or heading on the same road, but healing is my goal. Won't you help me?
If I was to take into account EVERYONE'S boundaries, what would I be able to say? Through therapy and insight I have been able to be honest with myself therefore be honest with you. If the fact that my life is so twisted and my desperation for releif leads to drug abuse offends you so much maybe YOU should be moving on, not me. Make room for the people who are sick since you are so well now, Although I would prefer you stay and share your experience with us who are still searching.I have to say that the rejection does hurt me but I have much bigger fish to fry...
Just trying to feel better, M.H.

Don't hate you at all, actually I like your posts more than you know! Even the one's that get you blocked :(
Maxine's block was a seperate issue entirely, I didn't think what she said deserved a block, it was not about you at all.

I don't hate you medhed, I mostly just don't agree with blocks.

I don't understand a lot of them. Maxime was all over the Board apologizing to everyone for being so angry. In fact she even Babbled me and sent me cyber flowers to apologize. I don't agree with her block. She's in pain and is hopeless. Fondly, Phillipa

Maxime does not need to apologize to me, everybody's opinion counts! But I have to say drawing attention to that miserable post was embarassing and I already know drug abuse is generally frowned upon here by most of the posters... I'm not sure how much she should disagree with my actions, that was up to Dr.Bob.
I'm giving my chemical love a break anyway, send her on vacation and screw the PDOC for a while.Medhed

Should I get defensive?
I'll pray that you will get over you onesideness so you can become whole Sunny10.

Even you decided to take a break from the self-medicating (whether or not by doctor's orders).
I am not offended by you in the slightest. I want you to be happy without needing them, is all.
Maybe you're right and I'm not "whole".
Maybe I'm just a nobody whose opinion doesn't count anyway.
It shouldn't matter to you whether or not I am whole, if I am not allowed to care about you, either...

I know that only I have the power to "let" someone hurt my feelings or offend me.
It's like I'm always saying, "inferred vs implied=perception"
I choose not to hear what is implied and refuse to infer anything because I've been asked NOT to...
Can't offer support to everyone; some don't want it...

I must have missed it. I assumed Dr. Bob had skipped the Admin board.

In reply to Where's that?, posted by Dinah on May 10, 2005, at 16:47:40
I'm a forthright person, I mean what I say, or what I ask, I don't disguise my intentions. If I wish to be unkind I will be. Perhaps your idea of what is "nice" and mine are different. I was simply asking "How necessary was that?" It's a question, if you read it as not being "nice" then it's all yours.
Dr. Bob has blocked Medhead previously because he had requested him to stick to "support and education" I didn't want him to get blocked again, because as I stated above, I enjoy his posts. Hence "How necessary was that?"

I sounded pretty harsh there, sorry. I've always associated being told to "be nice" or "Act nice" with a performance adults demand of children, especially little girls, that's my problem, and I reacted to that.

I'm sorry.

I left that subject heading there because I like it so much I'd like to see it more often in the world. ; )
I apologize for being so cranky and sanctimonious with you. I know I'm blunt, but unfairness and gratuitous nastiness aren't generally part of my character, unless it seems, someone accuses me of not being fair, in which case I've discovered, I become a real b*tch. :)
