> Wow. I'm at a loss for words after reading this thread. I must be the only one who is completely missing all these supposedly arbitrary, biased, or thoughtless actions by the deputies.
I believe many of these posts in this thread have been quite complimentary.

> The degree of bitterness and anger being directed at these volunteer administrators seems seriously out of proportion to any real problems.Bitterness and anger are your perceptions and your judements of what others are feeling. don't you think the problems are real to the people who post about them? Would you be upset if others accused the deputies of bitterness and anger?

> Whether or not any particular person's contentions have serious merit, I can say without question that the way some people are expressing their dissatisfaction is saddening to me and others. Your points may be well taken with respect to the particularities of your complaints, but they're lost in the hurtful effects of your confrontational tone.Could you explain who in particular you're talking about? I have participated in this thread as have many others. I believe making sweeping negative statements about a group of unspecified individuals is not likely to be helpful. I don't feel supported or educated myself.

I bet a lot of people would be heartened to hear some good things about this place and the people who devote their time to it.I believe much of this thread has been devoted to saying complimentary things to the deputies. But I'm ok with your request.
Babble is kept up very well technically. Lots of people care about each other. There is some tolerance of different view points if presented in Babble-approved style. the deputies devote quite a bit of time to this. OK your turn :)
