Dinah, I appreciate your apology for not reading my post correctly. I knew that the PBC was wrong but surely didn't expect a retraction.
Disclaimer...My post is not an indictment of the deputies that are here. My post is an indictment of the way this place doesn't work.
It bothers me a lot that such a harmless post could be read and so misunderstood that a deputy would feel that a PBC was in order. This says to me that people are in over their heads here and it is causing trouble for the posters and the administration.
I think that big things need to change here. Let Bob give Babble to a board..say 10 people. Give certain people one forum to monitor. That way the monitors gets familiar with the people on that forum and learn how they work with one another.
None of this running willy nilly and killing oneself while jumping into a thread that you don't understand OR it is read so fast that mistakes are made..such as my PBC.Let me make it clear that my investment here isn't enough to shed tears over a deserved PBC....nor do I mind a deserved block.
What I mind is the rather frantic attempts to watch all of us all of the time.I think that this system called "Babble" has just about run it's course in presenting a "fair and balanced" approach to us and our interactions.
I said that I wouldn't be back on Adm and when I did come back, I was misunderstood and got the PBC. (only mentioning this as a reason for my posting)
There isn't a chief and there aren't enough Indians to run this place correctly.
I am seeing more and more friends hurt and leaving. Two left this week without mentioning it on the boards. Two good steady members that have been here a long time.
If this starts a standard firestorm then perhaps after the shouting dies down, we can think and have some constructive dialogue that doesn't cause us to think we're being attacked or talked about.
