> And isn't this the ADMIN board where people should be ALLOWED to express how they really feel about such distress caused by others ON THESE (YOUR) BOARDS? If people dont want to get involved or become distressed by what others post ON THIS BOARD then they can allways stick with the other boards! Or simply DONT read the thread!

> Not impressed AT ALL.Teck, I agree with you completely. This is what admin should be for. And Maxime didn't use any names or accuse anyone specifically. If anyone felt accused, then they were either reading too much into it, or the accusations about them were correct. Either way, I think she brought an important subject into the open in the appropriate place. And this is obviously an issue that has hurt her significantly. Sometimes the notifier button just doesn't resolve anything, whereas bringing the issue into the open without naming names has better results. And I think it should be known that there is more background here that has not been discussed that may have led Maxime to post as she did.
And blocks should be done in days not weeks. Rounding 1.51 weeks up to 2 weeks just adds insult to injury.
Let's offer her some compassion and empathy. That's what she needs right now, not exclusion from this community.
Dr. Bob, please reconsider your actions in light of the other information that Maxime may have shared with you, and the location and context of her post.
