Hi, Verne.
I personally don't know what the sentences you quoted mean-- whether they were meant sincerely or sarcastically- because there's not enough context for them to be interpreted very precisely.
However, I feel very comfortable saying what I believe, on this site, whether anyone else here agrees wtih it or not. I don't believe that I risk exile for saying it.
I think iit's important, though, to try to say things tactfully and with consideration for the feelings of others. This is true whether the person is acting as a deputy or otherwise-- whether the person is a deputy or is not. Even if I'm frustrated or hurt. I don't always succeed-- but I am persuaded that it's important to try.
I can see that you're hurting. For that I"m sorry. I very much hope you don't leave here.
But I did want to say that if I thought there were unfairness on the part of anyone here, and that it demanded a response, I wouldn't hesitate to call it as I saw it.
