I think giving feedback in this situation helps.
I believe Gardenergirl has expressed an appreciation for this.
To whatever extent the two worlds remain separated or are to be melded with deputization, I don't doubt there will be learning experiences to be had by members of both.

I'm sorry, Scott, but this isn't quite benign enough. However, I apologize if I erred in my previous PBC and you were in fact speaking to yourself.

Please don't post anything that could lead others to feel accused or put down.
Also Scott is right about making a formal Please Do Not Post to Me request. It needs to be made in the subject line. Thanks. (Also Dr. Bob prefers Please Do Not Post to Do Not Post). If you have any backup information for your request, it might be best to email it. Thanks.

> wow..
> i think you are suppose to block others without injecting your personal thoughts and being condesending..I think Dr. Bob has said it's fine to object to the way a deputy performs her duties, but that the objections need to be civil themselves. I *think* you'd have been ok without the "condesending", but Dr. Bob can rule if he thinks differently.

I was definitely out of order here.It is so easy to forget where you are sometimes.
I just start typing so fast, I express my emotions as they develop.
I have not yet incorporated into my proofreading the screening for civility. I usually try to evaluate my composition as I am typing. I guess I will try to screen while proofreading in the future. I think that will be hard. I don't know.
Gosh. Two strikes and your out!
1 1/2 down and 1/2 to go.

I'm actually considering those preceding PBC's as reminders rather than punishments. :) (But then I often do.)
I'm feeling sort of guilty for going off to work yesterday and losing track of this thread while it got a bit out of hand.
It is a learning curve on our parts as well. You were right. When things get sufficiently tangled, I still sort of want to throw it to Bob to sort out.
I guess I'm going to have to start to learn to untangle myself. :(

I forgot to say in my last post to you that I think you are one smart soul and an asset whom I hope comes back to visit real soon.Live wonderfully.

That came out wrong. Especially given Dr. Bob's final actions.
I think it's fairer to say that I was frustrated that I couldn't think of what I could do to help, but that I felt I should have anyway. Dang OCD.

> wow..
> i think you are suppose to block others without injecting your personal thoughts...I guess it's only acceptable to add personal thoughts if they are apologetic or otherwise positive.
I took zazenducky at his/her word with regards to this message: http://www.dr-bob.org/babble/admin/20060826/msgs/686326.html
Hence, the "as you wish".I made the comment about again "wearing the deputy hat" and feeling no conflict in doing so because I had previously stated I would leave any administrative actions in the thread to the other deputies or Dr. Bob. I felt no need to continue that stance after reading the post which included statements about another poster. Had it just been about me or about administration, I would have continued to abstain.
Not being a deputy, the community member written about is under no obligation or suggestion to "grow thicker skin", and I could not let the statements about her stand without action.

In reply to Causes for impeachment-more serious, posted by Lou Pilder on September 14, 2006, at 7:47:20
someone said "more serious", I don't know who that some one is, but if you searched a posting name and a common insult involving a bottom, you might find multiple hits. Some one needs to tell me what is more important than my death or the death of my spouse. This is my last weekend before the second surgery. I'm so f*cking drunk.

Because if you are posting with a "new" name (I guess whether by choice or not) you're supposed to post as much on this board.Don't know if this helps. I posted by mistake by an older name - cute little slip, there, going backwards in time; and I thought I was going to be blocked or something. "Don't use more than one posting name at a time" I think it goes...

I know how to block email, but was asked not to.
I never threatened lawsuits - if anything it was the other way around.

Oh my goodness!
when it rains it pours!to all brave and valiant psycho-babblers.
((((Blocked))))
(((((Hurt))))
((((((Confused))))))
(((((Unheard)))))
((((Just stopping by to see what the fuss is))))
(((((just reading)))))
(((((((((((in search of something)))))))))
((((Administrators))))
((((((((Protesters)))))))))
(((((gone)))))I just thought I'd interject an ounce of support. Maybe it's worth a pound of cure.
Maybe I'm a hopeless optimist.

oh- the amount of hugs is unrelated to the amount of support. it's only related to the amount of twinge my tendons felt like tolerating with repetitive parentheses at any given moment.

Thanks, and I mean that.
Just a little niceness is all I need. It makes the rest bearable.
Yours came at a good time.
