It is extremely painful and distressing to read these exchanges. In my view, you are doing two things which are enraging and infuriating everyone. The first is that you do not acknowledge everyone's concerns over Lou's breaking of the civility rules. The second is that you do not appear to respect and understand what posters are trying to communicate to you. You almost invariably change the meaning into something else - something that suits your own purposes but which ruins any attempts at real communication. This is especially striking with your former deputies; they are very understandably frustrated and enraged by your doing this to them repeatedly.
No-one is saying that you have to agree with a particular view , just that there are posters still trying to communicate honestly with you, and I do not see in your replies any respect or acknowledgement of their views. It's as if you were "wiping them out" as human beings every time. Your answers to them make ME furious even though I am not part of all the exchanges.
We do expect an administrator with good communication skills - one who can understand a wide range of views and who can treat the members of the community with respect and understanding. The most painful aspect of all this is that we are finding out that we may not have an administrator who possesses those understandings or skills. If you could demonstrate them to us, it would go a long way towards easing the anger and stress we have now.
