> Could you please do something to publicly acknowledge all the hard work that the deputies do for you, without pay or thanks. Maybe you thank them off the board, but I would think it would be nice for the deputies if you showed them just a little bit of on-board support. They work really hard for this site and it seems like all they get are continual criticisms and ever more work as you are around less. And if they decline to take on the work, the board suffers.

I agree! I'm sincerely grateful for all the work the deputies do for me -- and for Babble. They enable me to have more balance in my life, and they enable Babble to remain a supportive community. It really is a hard job, and we're lucky to have volunteers who do it so well.

That's a good point, being uncivil, but vague, means *more* people may feel accused or put down.

Thanks for reflecting on this process. There are a number of angles that could be examined, including:

1. I and the deputies are vigilant for incivility, and others may model themselves after us.

2. People may be vigilant for "evil" in authority now because they've experienced it before.

3. We may also "hold" uncomfortable parts for others. Such as?
