*****I did my best. If my best isn't good enough, I will be happy to step down at Dr. Bob's request.
It's true that this past week or so, I haven't so much felt like a Babbler, but more like a deputy. From my point of view that isn't a positive thing for me. It isn't what I want, and it isn't what I like. I don't do this to be a deputy. I do this to be a Babbler. And if you think it feels bad on your "side", it doesn't feel so good over here either. I've been reasonably sure these past couple of weeks that whatever I do, it will be the wrong thing. I don't remember the last time I've felt so bad about myself on Babble.
From my point of view, I didn't draw or want any lines and I don't want any sides. I'd like us to work together to keep Babble a positive environment for posters and posters who happen to be deputies. I'm sorry if this isn't possible. I've done my best to keep the lines between the two down. *****
I'm sorry that this is a time where you've felt worse than you ever have on Babble.
I believe that when a PBC is applied and the poster hasn't been uncivil it does upset people.(especially the people who didn't deserve the PBC) I've seen three such PBCs in a row that were rescinded and it took quite awhile to get the last unPBC in the proper place. PBCs can be hurtful and if I don't deserve one...that makes it worse.
I've been busy and I have physical problems that affect me also. For instance I've been in horrible pain recently but I know that I will have flare-ups and I try to prepare for them.
I'm sorry Dinah, but I feel that if one of us is a deputy, there are going to be up and down days. I realize that you feel put upon and I expect you will again. It is a life thing.
