Yeah, admin can be scarey.
For me it is a place to find out whats happening with the admin part of babble, cuz i like to be on top of things, cuz I feel like maybe knowledge has power, and mebbe that power will keep me safe from being unexpectedly blocked.
I also just want babble to be the best it can be, for all.
I'm the one who checks the passed out drunk on the sidewalk. I am the one who will take the time to watch the wandering toddler to make sure they are safe, and that they do in fact have a parent with them. I am the one who talks to the kids doing something dangerous and asks them if they really thought about what they are doing. I am the one who sits beside the tearful woman and asks if she is OK. I am trying to teach my kids to do the same.(just so you don't think I ST. Muffled! I don't do it all the time, depends on my mood etc, but those above are all true examples.)
I find it very hard to sit and do nothing when it appears something is wrong. I am not the only one like this here on babble....
Change is hard. But its utterly impossible w/o communication...sigh...
I have much better control of this body, but I still lose it sometimes....
I also feel that I have expressed alot of that which is me on babble.
I have a strong affinity for the written word. Very strong.
I feel I have invested alot of time in helping others here(which in turn has helped me...).
So while it is not everything to me, it IS important to me, and the people here are important to me.
And as a memeber of this community (and perhaps my Mommyness), I feel like I would like this place to be safe and fair.
At this point I don't feel terribly safe. I am very confused by the behaviour of the person who 'rules' this empire....it frightens me. Its angers me to see others getting hurt.
Having an investment of myself here, I do not want to just walk away. I don't want to walk away from my babblefriends.
I just really wish it could work here, but at this point I am rather concerned, I really am. Part of me is very frightened.
And mebbe I kinda dumb. Mebbe I need to get a life. But this is how it is for me.
