It's not a hands off stance.
For the record, I knew already that Dr. Bob had been told about the post. And yesterday after the thread expanded, I contacted him and told him what the deputies had decided and why (although he probably already knew), how there might be an appearance of it being something other than what it was, and my concerns about that. I did hear back from him and he did say he'd look at it. It's his choice in what order to address the board issues, which was sort of the point of gg's post.
It has been handled exactly as we handle all similar matters.
As Racer said, that doesn't mean that it's open season on Dr. Bob. He has historically been lenient, but not beyond measure. And the civility rules against other posters (including deputies) and the board posters in general, jumping to conclusions about deputies, etc. still are in effect. As are the rules about replying to gardenergirl.
I understand and did understand that there might be confusion over the poster and postee, and what was responsible for our leniency. I explained that to Dr. Bob. Had he wished me to do something specifically, I daresay he'd have included that in his reply. I certainly implied that guidance would be welcome in my email. I'm thinking he wants to look at it first. If he wishes to clarify to us the parameters of what is and what isn't allowable to him either by example or explicit instruction, we will enforce those rules with *everyone*.
I hope this clears up the issue of "deputy inaction".
I was very happy to have a reply from Dr. Bob, and at this point urge everyone on all Admin issues to have a bit of patience. It'll take a while for him to get through all this, I'm sure.
