> Well... he's been around enough to change the picture a bunch :) Maybe he took 1000's of pics and has been busy organizing them or something..
The pictures changed so frequently, I wondered if maybe he didn't set up some kind of random widget or something to select pics from a group of them.
(shrugs) just a thought.

That's what I often do Dinah. LOL
I'll post about something that really doesn't belong on meds, but then I add a medication question to it and then it can stay on meds LOL. I hope Dr. Bob doesn't mind. rofl
I'm devious. LOL

> Well from some of the e-mails I get from old posters they have voiced a lot of dissention on here with good threads turning into somewhat battles, too many redirects is a definite as the posts die thereafter. Quite a few that left are now on facebook as they feel they can control who they accept as friends and you can delete your own post if you write some and then have posters regret. It's kind of happier too lots of joking and positives. No blocks either. Phillipa
You mean people are using Facebook to discuss their meds? That doesn't sound right .... are you sure?

> Free good job and for those questioning validity of redirecting a thread to another board see mine from meds to social on guilt. Died. This is just the most recent example I see. Off to work now yikkee ah oh!!!!!! Phillipa
But Phillipa, you have to agree that your thread had nothing to do with meds. It belonged on another board. Personally, I would have placed it on the psychology board.

>But you just wrote that you add a med question at the of your post to make it "med" related. Why would you bother doing that if you don't mind being re-directed. What is the point of that deception?
I'm so confused. I am going to bed.

I just like having the most people read my post. After that I don't care what happens to my post. I just like the initial attention. :)

Well then that doesn't really replace PB does it? You are only posing questions to a few, rather than a large group here at PB. So I don't think people left PB to go to Facebook. They have entirely different functions.

Deneb, I have noticed that you start a lot threads and people take the time to respond to you and give you advice. But then you never return to the thread! Don't be like the boy who cried wolf.
Try to figure out why you like the initial attention and why does it wear off when people start responding to you. Is it because you don't want to read what they have to say?

> twinleafI'd like to ask those who care about ron or twinleaf -- or object to blocks in general -- to do what they can to try to prevent more blocks.
Protests haven't proved all that effective at preventing blocks and may even encourage behaviors that lead to them. You have the right to protest (as long as you're civil), but if your goal is to prevent more blocks, please consider a different strategy.

I think thats what bob means about helping each other. The Block didnt hit me hard but the lack of support did.

I didn't write that with the intention of being critical. I was just expressing my personal reaction to what seemed to me to be an unusual reason for a block.. It did not cross my mind that my post would result in a block. I certainly do not want to be blocked for a year for a statement which was innocent in its intentions, so I would like to withdraw that statement.

"Protests are not all that effective...." Those of us who do protest do so because we believe, deeply, in the values we are expressing. How these values are received cannot change that.

One of the Merriam-Webster definitions for capricious is unpredictable, and that's how I meant it. That's how I see blocks, etc. - unpredictable. Is my seeing it as unpredictable somehow uncivil? I honestly and sincerely don't think so.

>Because you said you like people's initial response to the thread/post. But then you don't really post again or respond to what people have posted to you. So naturally, people are going to think about posting to the threads you start.
Then one day you are really going to need to post and have a quick response. No one will respond because of your past behaviour. That is what I meant my crying wolf. I know that you have never made threats to hurt yourself.

Some people get preferential treatment. They go straight to "more blocks" without having to waste precious time on PBC's.
