Susans does my head in. Like a junkie I cannot seem to stay away from it even though I know it is bad for me. For periods I lurk then I see someone who needs to know some piece of information I am in possession of and I wind up making an account and logging in.
Big mistake.
After I have dealt with the issue I have a tendency to make other postings. Then I get sucked into arguments and discussions that are I find upsetting. I know people are entitled to their views and I know that their views and my views will rarely be the same but sometimes other posters come over as unbelievably callous or thoughtless and it really gets to me. I read stories of the vicious ignorance of certain sections of society (think religious nut-jobs) and I am amazed that such organisations flourish.
I cannot get it blocked at this end. I am a systems admin and I have all the passwords to all the systems and no one can block me from anything. Without going into tedious details, I have tried other techniques too but none of them work. Like a moth I am drawn back to the destructive flame of Susans until I burn in it once more.
I fully understand that for a lot of people this place is a life-line, a place of friendship and safety, but not for me. For those of you for whom it works I am happy, but it does not work for me.
I access the net from a static IP address. If that address is blocked I will never bother any of you again.
