> Dinah, this is not intended to be any kind of a slight, to you, or to other deputies. Bob carefully selects people who become his acolytes. People who can weigh the posts here, not in terms of the rule as written, but in terms of how he has applied the rule. With no regard to what is written.

And this is wrong because? Even the judiciary considers prior case law as well as the written word. And we're not the judiciary. We're not part of an oligarchy. We're not moderators. We're deputies. Which means that we are limited to applying Bob's rules as Bob would have them applied.

I don't think that makes us acolytes.

I am truly, deeply saddened. I have long stood your friend, on board and off. I have protested blocks that I did not think were proportionate, I have lobbied for leniency when I thought the rules had been properly applied. I have steadfastly refused to take sides in any disagreements between two or more of my friends, even to risking the friendship. While I empathize with feelings, I also emphasize that I consider all parties a friend. I am very sad when I read "acolyte" and "oligarchy" under any conditions. Today, I am more sad than usual.
