Hello Dinah,
I must apologise, I think my post was alittle aggressive...I had to "get it out" some how written on the boards how I felt about the block - sorry that it was to your post..
>But then I was reading the exchange in context of knowing that Lar was favorably disposed to Deneb and concluding that he was unlikely to wish to be uncivil or hurtful to her. In fact, I have a tendency to keep context in mind a lot when reading posts. Prior history between two people, a person's characteristic style of expression and the possibility for misunderstanding, that sort of thing. Perhaps it's better for the community that Dr. Bob judges a post strictly on its content. Because keeping context in mind can obscure sudden changes in context. Not that I'm saying there was a sudden change in context this time. But it does happen.
That makes complete sense to me, I fully understand what you're saying..
Its intersting how sometimes negative situations on here do then turn out to be better somehow along the lines. Its a shame that they happen in the first place, but then if something good arises that was not in place before - I guess its like every cloud has a silver lining so to speak...hopefully that will be the outcome of this :-)
Warm regards
Nick

In reply to Lar's block, posted by ClearSkies on January 5, 2006, at 16:35:16
I don't know how, or why, Larry got blocked - and don't need to.
There's something so fundamentally wrong with this site, you may not see the problem if you're deeply involved in it.
Enough for me to say goodbye. I was barely here anyway.
I'll say it again: Larry Hoover was just about the only reason I visited this site. I only dream about being that knowledgable, intelligent, creative, insightful, giving, and helpful.
Most of message boards and chatrooms are so much fluff. Everyone, either, patting themselves or each other on the back, and putting the best spin on themselves.
Larry, on the other hand, is REAL. I just hope to be that real.

Congrats for red flagging, and bringing to Dr. Bob's attention, an earlier post and getting the poster blocked. You're good at that! How many you manage to get banned this month? You can take a barely questionable post and dress it up for a Dr. Bob's block. Way to go!
If I'm not already blocked, please count me amongst the blocked. Better company by far.
Happy Hunting!
Verne

Oh, no problem sweetie, everyone's upset eh? And, uh, if you get blocked I'll have one less reason to come here, you know, to read your literate posts. This is like some psychodrama thingo, the meaning of which is obscure.

After seeing Larry take the fall for several other posters and getting blocked on several occasions, I think Larry's only mistake is in returning to this board. I would like him to return for selfish reasons. But if I am to think about what might be best for him (isn't that arrogant -- Sarah presuming to know what's best for Larry?), I'd say, "Larry, don't waste any more of your life on the message boards. As I said over on 'Social' (I think that's where I said it), Larry, you should go to medical school. Eventually, you'll get the recognition and remuneration you deserve instead of the abuse you get on Internet message boards, several of which are nothing more than huge dysfunctional families."

Sorry Alexandra,
I was posting while drunk again. I get so belligerent at times. I didn't know what I was saying. Got kicked off a game site last night for being obnoxious and expect to be blocked here soon.
sheepishly,
Verne

Not that it'll make a damn bit of difference,
is that bobster should give Lar a long, slow, wet kiss after having had him face down.

I am in no way am questioning the basic idea of civility here in babbleland. I appreciate the fact you are discouraging posters from being intentionally hurtful.The problem I do have is the way in which civility is allowed to be manipulated seamlessly while truth is pushed aside. I do not see how this is being supportive at all.
Another problem I have would be that your enforcement of these almighty civility rules seem to be based on, as far as I am able to tell, is whether or not you’ve been laid recently.
I’m only a few hours away from babble HQ. If you’re not married, I could fix you up with one of my hot friends, you could drop me off at IKEA; take him/her to lunch, relax a little.
It’s ok for you to accept help, too! Oh yeah, and for my fee of $175.00 an hour for unprofessional psychological services, and your confidentiality is guaranteed.

Hey Dr.Bob,
I think Larry should receive a PBC instead of a block on the grounds that it was the first time Larry used someone else's quote in an uncivil way.
I'm guessing Larry had never used someone else's quote in this way before. You usually give PBCs to people who break a certain rule for the first time.
Thanks for listening
Deneb

Unfortunately, the last time I looked, votes about blocks don't count here. But maybe our opinions do?

Was Larry ever blocked before? I thought that the initial block was 1 week.
