In the Facebook World, it seems pretty easy to get on someones friends list. Yes, there is an invite, but it can come in really odd ways, like a person of a friend of a person, and say you see one name you recognize, so you say yes, to add me to friends list.
Philipa, despite Dr. Bobs insistence on what you say..could be used against you policy, which I dont exactly agree with, just send out a message that you wish to be kept out of conversations, and can even go as far as do not post to mes if needed. (Geee..I hope I am not on that list..lol.) I find myself very loyal to the posters who have slaved it out on here for many, many years, going back to at least close to the beginning. (I wasnt around at THE beginning.) I know people who complain about that, but then there are so many people who seem to keep on changing their name/handle, and yes I think trust has to be earned. So, this is meant with respect, but I think changing handles is not a good idea. (Unless there where concerns about privacyetc.)Its been a few years, and many of us have matured, and many have healed and some have hurt in different ways. I remember my *anger* phase on here, brought on by hypomania courtesy of Wellbutrin and a dreaded hot summer, and I just got myself all razzed up and hurt myself more then anything. Now, I think Ive made a sort-of Zen Peace with the board. I still have issues Id like see addressed, and I will keep working on them. This board is not a democracy, it is an owned entity of Dr. Bob H., and he profits from using us as his personal virtual laboratory. I see it as a place where I can gently express SOME of what I feel. Even in democracy, too, you cant just say whatever you want to whomever. Okay /soapbox lol.
