It just does not work the way you are insisting it does.
It would be great if it did--I have a few people who occasionally follow me around like little puppies that I'd love to shake loose, but that just ain't happening.
You don't have to believe me--ATA. Ask Skinner, Earl or Elad. Direct them to this thread so they see our conversation; ask them if I'm messing this up. I think they will tell you that I have it right. If you put someone on IGNORE, you don't see them anymore. They, however, can still see you, and reply to you. You remain oblivious to them so long as you are logged in.

I would say, at this point in time, DU's administration should be held responsible.

We are "self-policing." The people who should be held accountable are the jurors who don't vote to

They have a lot of irons in the fire, I think. I don't know if DU is their priority anymore.

If you can come up with another theory as to why this person shows for me when I'm not logged in

I'm not ignoring anyone either. That's the point. It's other people ignoring that ostracizes.

I don't know what to tell you, but I know that DU doesn't work that way. It would be a feature

I KNEW there had to be an explanation. You're not an idiot. Don't put yourself down.

In answer to a PM to the admin about it I was told DU couldn't function with such a rule

It's HuckleB's, and it'll get back on track, despite our little subthread conversation!

The true tragedy of mental health stigma is that it dissuades many from seeking help

Wow. But DU celebrates each time certain clerics claim LGBT persons are 'inherently disordered'....

Great post! I wish you would post it or a version of it you think appropriate as an OP.

No, I don't think I'm even implying doing away with any regulation or law

I agree with you on Holmes, the Aurora shooter. The action of the therapist seems irresponsible
