> Muffled - Like I've said before, new name, old poster.
*sorry Bay, I got a mind like a sieve. I can't remember babblers and details very well when names don't change, obvo i am ridiculously bad with name changes, though I understand why people do it.
> I get the whole history. But when Bob decided to walk away and leave the administration to deputies, it is their decision to allow that to happen. Don't we all allow people to treat us one way or another? I know the deputies did this for the good of the Babblers. That's extremely generous! They are good people.*I agree, we must protect ourselves, but sometimes we dunno how to do that very well. Ya :-) deps good people!
> But, Dinah and others should not have to bare the burden of running Babble via his convoluted tippy-toe rules. It was unfair to dump Babble on them, and takes advantage of their emotional attachment to Babble and Babblers, and perhaps Bob.*Thats it exactly, its SO hard to figger the RULES, UGH!
Ya I agree with you here.
> By allowing him to do this - they are enabling him to continue the age old "cycle of abuse".*Ya think so? I mean by abuse, I never thot of that, but I guess its like neglect is considered abuse too, so maybe so. I think the emotional aspect of all abuse is often the most damaging.
> He'll show up with flowers and a smiley face once in a while...then he's gone again. It irks me to no end to see him get away with it.
*Ya, I kinda got this admire/hate thing w/him. I have a scientific side that admires some of his thot trains.....when we can figure them out that is!!!
> If he does not want to admin Babble, he ought to discuss his options with the International Society for Mental Health Online. I believe he's on the board. I'm sure they can come up with a better alternative than walking away.*Well I agree that I wish Bob would do something to get some help with administrating this site. Maybe he could get some good ideas from others involved in this type of stuff. I wondered if someone might want to help that was not a babbler already. But who would do this?
I wished I knew what could be done.
> Bay (guessing she'll see you next year!)*LOL! Nope! Not next year yet! Soon though.
Thanks for talking to me.
