I think everyone's aware that overly frequent civility warnings, excessive blocking and a general lack of sensitivity towards the feelings of the community have been the major causes behind Babble's collapse. In the crisis climate that we have been in for some time now, it does appear, to me, insensitive for a deputy to cease being a participant while retaining punitive administrative functions- the very thing which many posters feel is at the heart of our difficulties. I was making a comment about the impression that made on me; not, of course about Racer's feelings or motives, which I of course
know nothing about and would not presume to comment on.I think that, for Babble to survive, all administrative actions will have to be applied much more sparingly, and with much more regard and respect for people's feelings. We need many more months like the one we just had - in which no administrative actions whatsoever take place. From time to time, administrative actions will be needed. But for Babble to once again be robust, meaningful, fun.... It needs to function
freely and independently.
