I think quite highly of Ed, too. It's not about whether I respect a poster, how much they do or do not contribute, or the perceived value of their contributions.
Would it really be fair and consistent to factor those issues in when reviewing a post for civility? And how could you measure it so that all of the deputies and Dr. Bob might come to the same decision?
And yes, people from different cultures vary in the way they express things. But we are asked to express ourselves in a certain manner here. There are many resources here for understanding what's expected--the FAQ, posts on admin., looking at examples of what's been PBC'd before... We can also ask questions.
>I not going to argue the block just that he knows so much about meds that with all the recent discussion on MAOI's someone could be seriously harmed without his extensive research and knowledge.
I would feel a terrible burden of responsibility if someone were to say that about me. And I believe posters here in search of information should add what they get here to what they learn from other sources. I don't think Babble should be their only source of information. Nor should one poster be the sole source that one uses for info. I guess I'm saying that if someone were "harmed" by Ed's absence, I'm not sure I'd agree with that interpretation.
>I think this is civil isn't it? Fondly, Phillipa
If you mean your post, it seems so to me, but I read it as a poster, not as a deputy. I don't have my deputy hat on this evening.
