I think blocking is justified when someone is intentionally attacking. But most of us write our personal psycho babble. Why is it named "psycho babble" if we're not allowed to babble? It should be named "dr.bob" if that's what it is about.
Whether or not a person is considered a babble felon might be determined by what he chooses to babble about.
The reason we are here is because we have a reason to babble about something psycho about our lives, and even if we never mention "it" we may erupt over some other little thing instead, and isn't it healthy to get those little eruptions out?
I'm probably not making any sense, but just wanted to see if I was still blocked.
Best of the Season,
God Bless one and all.

Welcome back, I'm glad you're still with us. My position on this has been:

A babbling brook flows wherever there is the least resistance. If this is to be a truly safe place it needs to follow the same kind of course. By truly safe I mean a place where one can let his thoughts flow without worry of offending someone, and everyone would choose to let everyone express what flows, encouraging the psycho within to babble without. Sentences, thoughts, words, or whatever he needs the world to see or know. What better place to broadcast when you feel that need? I see way too much fear, pain, neglect the way it is now.
Now if I was to let my own brook babble, http://scriptures.lds.org/en/dc/134 would flow out right now. Why? Because it is something I just read and it is still sitting there in my head, and when I read something that teaches me, I have a burning desire to let someone else read the same. That is the psycho side of me coming out, or the part I can't seem to hold back.
I realize some brooks babble way too much, and flood the lower ground, but if let alone it will generally take care of itself. Have you ever seen a flood plain or a dry river bed? They sit empty, patiently waiting.
Why would anyone build a house on a flood plain? It seems to me psycho babble is a flood plain, with many little tributaries. Why not open it up for a few weeks and see what happens? You know there will at some point be a flood, but surely is has been structured by now to take care of itself. There are enough good people to take care of one another, and if some one comes with the intent to be obnoxious, or erupts with foul language, report and remove.
I look for answers in the scriptures, and this is the first one that popped up just now. Gen. 19: 17
17 ¶ And it came to pass, when they had brought them forth abroad, that he said, Escape for thy life; look not behind thee, neither stay thou in all the plain; escape to the mountain, lest thou be consumed.
That works. If anyone gets caught in a flood, escape fast.Psycho Babble. Babbling Brook. What happens if you take measures to prevent the flood? PBC, Blocking. Dammed up waters will break. There must be an escape.
1 Corinthians 10:13 There hath no temptation taken you but such as is common to man: but God is faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above that ye are able; but will with the temptation also make a way to escape, that ye may be able to bear it.Did God inspire you to create Psycho Babble? Those who believe in God probably think He led them to this place. Those who don't found it some other way. The only one who is capable of thinking like everyone is god himself. Not you, not me, not anyone. I have given you some scripture guidelines to read on how to govern, and for some strange reason, I think there is an application here.
Is a block like jail or excommunication?

That is a great idea. Why do not you set up one of the many free internet boards and run it as you see fit ?

Starting your own blog would be another way to have the freedom to post whatever you would like and not have to worry about any restrictions. There are several free places to have a blog, here is one of many:

Well, this brook meets considerable resistance in some places...

> If anyone gets caught in a flood, escape fast.A flood may not be the end of the world, but still can cause a lot of hurt. Dams don't always break. Escape if necessary, but why not also prevent if possible?
> if some one comes with the intent to be obnoxious, or erupts with foul language, report and remove.
But wouldn't that be trying to prevent the brook from babbling? The waters from flooding?

I think there is, too, in some ways administration is more about government than mental health.

Isn't excommunication permanent? Blocks might be kind of like jail. Have they felt that way to you?

Considering I have only been blocked from PBF, I'd have to say excommunication, but in this case, without grounds, so mis-excommunication. In excommunication both the plaintif and the victim are allowed to speak. Then a committee makes the decision, based on gospel principles. Never is the arbitrator and plaintiff the same person.
You have set up a system here, that does not apply to one of your boards, and you are confused between jail and excommunication. btw, I don't know how excommunication works in other faiths, but in mine (Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints), it is used as a repentence tool, with the goal to help you come back. Excommunication is used when a person wants to maintain their good membership, and also when a person is purposely trying to destroy it from within. You cannot have your cake and eat it too. Of two I want the one the most, but I am two, and both alone in me.
For a block to feel like excommunication, it would have to relate back to a set group of principles, whether Christian, Jew, or Otherwise, and that be what you would judge against. For it to feel like jail, it would be the same, only not with religious laws. But, on the other hand if you ask where did law orriginate, I would have to say religion. Plus if I thought about whether a person could be excommunicated by breaking a natural law, it would be yes.
I realize I have not answered your question. It feels like excommunication and jail combined. Excommunication because of being banned or shunned, and jail because of being locked out.
I'm a thinker, and the more I think about this one the more confused I get, because law is law. I still think JS explained it the very best in the link I gave you yesterday.

How can excommunication help people come back?
Posters are welcome to come back. They don't even need to repent. :-)

Is that freedom from religion, or freedom of religion? Let's put the baby back in the cradle.
