Bless you twinleaf.
That was a well worded, obviously well thot out post.
It is nice that you are trying to help.
I too beleive Bob is trying to make it work, but what are his reasons for doing so? THAT I do not know. I have never understood what drives him, what his motivations are in running this site.
WE have beem talking to him for YEARS about his lack of understanding, and he has changed some, but I am starting to believ he will never really understand. I don't think he is able to.
I am hoping he could get some help in running this site. Non babbler help. It is not fair to ask babblers to be admin, deps maybe, but not admin.
Cuz Bob is great at the tech stuff, this site runs very well technically.
But he needs some help w/the interpersonal end of things.
IF he would be willing to let them be a full partner and not override their decisions etc.
Maybe someone else would be willing to take over this site if Bob was willing to let go of it, just kinda be a silent partner or something...
Then we can get rid of the darn buttons.
But some good concrete examples in your post, thats helpful I think.
I am sure glad for you that your son is respectful of your privacy. Sorry that happened though, must have kinda shook you up :(
Anyhow, sorry to be a wet blanket, but I don't hold much hope for real big changes here.....
But I do keep popping back, ever hopeful...
I think what we longer term posters envision for babble is NOT what Bob envisions....and...as ever....its Bobs site...
Sigh.
Nice post though.
Great thinking there.
Thx
