Dinah, it *hurts* to see some of the things you've been accused of and \the statements made to you. At times reading them I've felt I've been punched in the stomach, they just seemed so uncalled for and inexcusably ... low.
If I thought it would make a difference I'd point out posts that prove you are unbiased. I've been P.B.C'd by you more than once, and twice it was because I was in my own rather blinded way defending you : )
I've admired your objectivity, empathy straightforwardness and appreciation of diversity since I've known you, they are qualities that I think shine in you--the reasons I noticed you, and wanted to get to know you, not something I claim to see now because I'm part of some nebulous "In group" It seems impossible to me that they are qualities not seen as clearly to everyone else.
I've mentioned you in particular because I've known you the longest, but all the deputies I think do a fair and fine job, and GG I know is always examining and re examing her actions that's not the behaviour of someone on a power trip.
Never have I seen it as some sort of perverse power trip. A few P.B.C's and a very few blocks, a power trip? Really? That idea actually seems kind of funny to me. It's like what? you get all puffed up over managing to beat your quota of P.B.Cs...
"Well I sure showed *that* screename A P.B.C and a "Please Be Sensitive" she won't be messing with the likes of me again" *Shine badge*Makes me tilt my head to the side like a dog that heard a weird noise.
I can't say anything else because I've not been wording things well lately.
But To all the deputies, it seems at times you're not seen as people at all, especially not as people who cope with the same struggles and illness and insecurities that the rest of us do. I'm so sorry for the pain and bewilderment you must so often have felt.
I know I've felt it on your behalf many times
