Doctor Bob, please, I have had it with this... troubled individual nicknamed gldngodss or something like that.

It's all so f****d-up. Why do I bother? I just want to be happy but it's so hard.

Dr. Bob,
I'd like to note here that "gldngodss" initiated the exchanges with Else. Else did say a few things back, but considering how malevolent "gldngodds'" posts had been... I don't think Else should have any ban imposed on her, as she uses the board for its intended purpose.Andy :)

Dr. Bob,
I went back and read the "homopathic" thread and the "I'm so sick of living like this" thread. While the "uncivil" tone between Else and gldngodss could almost be labeled two-way in the homopathic thread - Else was blind-sided in the other thread. Else had reached out for support a few days ago, and many were giving it. Then, today, this horrible attack. I realize you are more than capable of tracing this yourself -- but I just had to point it out for all to see. I am not surprised that Else struck back -- especially, given that she is feeling down right now. What a terrible thing to have happen. As I posted on the other board (improperly, I realize), I understand that it is not correct for us to respond in an uncivil tone. But when there is person such as gldngodss who in many threads provoking, what is the solution? That is just as damaging to the board as people being uncivil.
I know that your first goal is to provide a very open forum -- you don't want to ban anyone if possible. You want anyone seeking information and support to feel welcome. But when does a person cross the line with his or her provocative posts? When does that person's actions have the effect of making people not feel welcome. I have pointed out two threads. I don't normally keep up with PB that closely -- I am wondering how much more of this type of posting this person has done, or will do, if allowed?
AKC (no nickname on this -- I find this very triggering -- this poster makes this forum very unsafe solely by what they did to Else in the "so sick of living" thread.)

I think there are three main options: (1) respond in a civil way, (2) let me know so I can try to take care of it, and (3) just let it go. Sorry I wasn't able to jump on it this time...
