Dr. Bob,
You've never asked the deputies to "hold down the fort" indefinitely. You've not provided the deputies with adequate tools and resources to do so. You've made no formal (or otherwise) changes in policy to increase deputy authority to make up for the void you've left. You have done little to make up for the giant deficit of support for the deputies while continuing to rack up a greater "support debt".
With the seemingly precious, minuscule amount of time you have found to devote to Babble recently, you use that time to talk about surveys, address a name change, and answer one specific question about a block (not that those issues are not also worthy of attention). But have you noticed anything else going on here recently? Read any emails? This is how you prioritize your time?
How absolutely shameful and self-centered.
(Belated note to self: Duh! Why in the world would someone with this personality type give a rat's *ss? Rolls eyes and shakes head at the rampant idealism.)
It's true this is finger-pointing and accusing. There is no hedging or compassion for whatever internal state is driving the narcissism. There are, with intention, no "I" statements in this post, because it's all about you and your behavior, Dr. Bob. This behavior speaks volumes about what and who you value.
In case you're unaware of the tone of the message your behavior is sending, here's a hint: It's not flattering.
