Don't issue blocks for eons by mincing and parsing community members' words.
Those inconsistent blocks and PBCs felt like random BLOWS and BULLYING to me.
It did not feel good or safe for this member.Void and emptiness is what I now feel when I come here - with so many members
either blocked or gone (after having had enough...) Many of them were wonderfully
interesting and engaging people who contributed A LOT to babble. I really miss reading
and learning from their thoughtful and insightful posts...not to mention all the fun and laughs.And now the tweetering and facebooking...feels like a mass blocking system...
It's very sad and I feel bad for everyone.Sig - I hear ya. Hanging in there? Hope you are well! Happy Halloween, Sig.
Take care everyone,
Ava
