I have largely LEFT Babble because of the *absence* of administrative presence and because of the behavior of posters towards each other with no timely intervention of administration. I've continued posting on Psychology because as yet the lack of administrative intervention there has not been a major issue.
There are lots of places on the internet where people are free to say whatever they like. I'm sorry to see a place like Babble was go away. But unless there's timely administration here, the environment I loved is already gone.
As far as Racer's lack of involvement on Babble goes, Dr. Bob has indicated to me that he won't accept me back as deputy unless I cease to post. I don't really see myself wanting to volunteer deputize where I am not part of the community.
It's what Dr. Bob *wants*, and it's not fair to blame Racer for that. Of course, some deputies have found it difficult or impossible to continue to post given the pressures that deputies sometimes fall under. I don't think negativity towards lack of involvement that is, in part, a result of past negativity to deputies is likely to encourage participation by deputies even if it were allowed by Dr. Bob. Which at present I understand it is not.
Perhaps a positive interest directed to Racer as to why she is no longer an active poster at Babble would be more likely to elicit a positive response.
