I agree. And I agree with Larry's point that not dealing with it in a timely manner does not undo any hurt feelings or misunderstandings related to the block. Actually, timeliness of decisions and actions has been one of my frustrations in working on the admin team. In my case, it seems to bring out apathy in me versus helping me develop patience. sigh

In my case, I'm reluctant to act because I know fewer sanctions are administered by Dr. Bob than would be administered by me, and I don't think the reverse should ever be true.I absolutely agree, and frankly, I avoid trying to be a deputy on the Politics board. I don't feel I understand the rules well enough if I base my interpretation and understanding on Bob's actions or non-actions.
I realize that this might look as if Dinah and I are in lock-step, perhaps because of our deputy roles. But I think we just happen to share similar beliefs on these issues.
