It's fine to discuss administrative policy here, as long as you do that without posting negative characterizations of other Babblers. Being yourself is important and encouraged - but with limits as explained in the FAQ. Your freedom of speech *is* limited here and Babble is not necessarily the place to express *everything" you'd like to express in the manner you'd like to express it. Also, as you have correctly noticed, it isn't necessary to direct negative comments specifically at someone for those comments to be uncivil. In fact, it is often the case that the more vague and general you are, the more posters you may offend, or potentially offend, as more may read your words and think, "When he says posters are XXX and YYY, does he mean me?"
If you or others have questions about this or about posting policies in general, or are interested in alternate ways of expressing yourself, please see the FAQ: http://www.dr-bob.org/babble/faq.html#civil. It *does* take a while to 'get the hang' of posting in accordance with the civility rules here. Dr. Bob chooses to enforce civil language, respect and sensitivity more stringently than what is allowed on other similar internet sites, at least in my experience. I would strongly encourage you to take a look at this section of the FAQ, in order to avoid any further administrative actions.
Follow ups regarding these issues should of course, be civil. Dr. Bob has oversight over deputy decisions, and he may choose a different action.
