Respectfully, I think posting here for more than 3 years gives me the minimum qualifications to post my thoughts on what I've seen here during that time.Also, note the quotation marks I put around gg's comments. Your interlineated comments are addressing statements she made.
While I understand the need to vent, I think it creates a fairness issue when the deputies take a hands-off policy against comments that are clearly uncivil regardless of their feeling that Dr. Bob is open to criticism. It makes the administration of rules look inconsistent, and it gives rise to the inevitable speculation that "if I had said the same things, I would have been blocked."
It seems unfair to issue PBCs and blocks to posters who make far less confrontational and uncivil remarks, yet let these comments slide. A commitment to fairness requires an understanding that even the appearance of a double-standard diminishes faith in the rules administrators.
