Thanks, Dinah. That was a really clear explanation.
Everything Dinah said goes for me, too. There in nothing is any of my admin actions meant to hurt or humiliate anyone.
I think the educational aspect of doing things publicly here is important to Dr. Bob, and I agree with him on that. Even with so many requests to civil, sensitive or follow other site guidelines available for anyone to read here, still there are questions from posters who express frustration at not understanding the rules. If the site were administrated behind the scenes, there would be much less - *no* opportunity, really - for anyone to see deputy or Dr. Bob's actions and have a public debate about what things were done, interpretation, etc.
As far as accidental disclosures, I do understand. I've decided long ago to say nothing anyone has told me about themselves in a post unless I have literally found *their* post where they wrote that exact thing I'm going to mention. If I can't find one, I won't say it, or if feel it's important to discuss publicly, privately ask them if I can. As Dinah said, it's impossible for any mere human to keep information straight, otherwise. Fortunately for me, I didn't learn this personally, but more from listening to and watching others more knowledgeable than me about message boards, chat boards and such.
CJ, I am sorry if you felt/feel badly. -- 10der
