Wow, you hit the nail on the head. When I was banned for the week it happened because I had posters responding for another poster. To be honest it pissed me off. They were challenging what I said, when it was an honest attempt to help. When in essence they were doing what they were accusing me of. Too bad the person that I was talking with never clarified for all involved they just seemed to sit back and watch it all go down.
That was when I decided I just had to ignore one poster forever and even stated on the adm. board to Dr. bob about the ability to just turn off posters. That post was met with sarcasm which I viewed as a taunt so I responded harshly which just set me up. The deputies did nothing. So yes, people skate along the lines, which they have admitted, so they can "get away with it". The deputies should do something when the intent to taunt is there. The funny thing is I have NEVER responded to a legitimate question with taunting and if people do it for sport that is sad as that means they have nothing better to do.
So when people ask if babble is dying the answer is if you think it is it probably is. The good thing about all of this I have stayed away more and more and have vowed to limit my posting. That reminds me I need to go do something constructive for my mental health. I will be picking mulberrys today. Peace
