Might I point out that if the deputies behaved with as sadistic and cruel behavior as the guards in the experiment are portrayed as showing, the Administration Board wouldn't have nearly so many unsanctioned posts about deputies. Posts that I cried when I read, and that I ended up taking more Risperdal over than I have taken for my mother.
Moreover, Dr. Bob provides a fair amount of supervision and would cut us off pretty quickly if he thought we were out of line.
Even though Dr. Bob only very recently said that incivility toward deputies would be considered incivility just as if it were toward any other poster, in truth we allow a lot of things that leave us feeling accused and put down and hurt. Things that we would PBC if directed at the posters who posted it.
We're not Dr. Bob. We do feel hurt. We don't feel a distance between posters and us that would lead us to be unmoved. We *are* posters. You are our fellow posters.
I don't know why I bother to say these things. I suspect it's to, in my own way, keep my feet firmly planted among my fellow posters. Whether they like it or not. Whether Dr. Bob likes it or not. I am a poster. I refuse to be *Administration*. I just help Administration.
