Point well taken.I am sorry, I had not been concentrating at the specific issue. (cyclothymia/ADD case, y'know - I was irritated by something on Discovery a few months back, I don't even remember what.. so the Discovery example started something in my head..I went off-track)
I now looked up the thread which led to this comparison.
This site is for disturbed people, so my common sense (at present) says blocking is only justified if not doing so has clear potential for causing harm to other disturbed people accessing this site...
ok there is one more reason I can think of .. if in the opinion of the doctor, blocking could help and is very unlikely to harm the person blocked. But that doesnt/shouldnt apply here, the moderator is then playing two roles at the same time - doubling as doctor - over the internet -I am too mixed up and ignorant to address this issue logically.
I suddenly see that political generalizations are too easy and glib a substitute for thinking.
Thank you. What did you do to me? Like zen.
Why didnt someone ask me before whether I had bothered to spend some time looking at what it was that was being objected to?Actually these questions did bother me sometimes, but I suppressed them because I was afraid they would trigger brooding - a real danger for me because in my teenage I had episodes of abnormal brooding continuing for weeks at a time, even if i managed to sleep i used to get up and the ruminations would continue from the point at which i had fallen asleep - so that sleep felt like a blink in consciousness - often i'd feel that i had only dozed off for a minute when actually I'd slept for 12 hrs etc.
signing off. (I am on MAOI (l-deprenyl) nowadays, so i wont ruminate)
