This IS the admin board
He was so excited about the Babble trip, and that was such a very short time ago. When depression is at its worst, it's hard to think that things will ever be better. But the fact is that there *are* times in most people's lives that *are* better. I keep thinking about the post where Pseudoname said that that trip didn't need to be a one time thing. That he was looking forward to going to other Babble parties, connected with other APA conventions. And how for him, this was a one time thing, and how I wish he could have remembered that post when he was feeling at his worst. How I wish that even when depression was crowding out most other thoughts in his head, he could have at least remembered that not so long ago he had fun and was looking forward to having fun again.
This IS the admin board. I don't think any of those subjec`ts would be appropriate here. I am addressing administrative issues.> And perhaps admin objections directed at Bob's choices could be more objectively considered when the iron is cool?
I think something must be done to change things. I think my efforts in that direction are just as worthy of respect as the sentiments you seem to prefer.
>When your objections wouldn't so directly link to the death of someone that many people here knew and cared about?
My objections are certainly linked to the death of someone we knew and cared for.
>You've made it clear that you're not crazy about Bob's administrating.
I'm not alone in that. This is the admin board and I'm discussing Bob's administrative policies. I'm also a witness to his past history. I think that's valuable. People who don't want to hear my views are certainly able to refrain from opening my posts. I have not taken any of my objections onto any other board.> It's hard for me, at least, to forget that when you're talking about this topic.
I'm quite sure it is LOL I'm quite sure it is.
