Respectfully, Dr.Bob, if you say you are going to moderate, then our community does expect you to do so, in whatever way currently seems best to you.
Considering Lou's accusations and community requests that you actively follow your civility guidelines as just differing points of view does not accurately describe this situation. By refusing to move towards either point of view, you are not moderating as you had promised to do. Having Lou condemn and threaten people is not equal to posters asking you to follow your own civility guidelines. By saying you will not be pulled towards either point of view, you are saying that you will not moderate.
I am all for a flexible type of administrating which would be comfortable and rewarding for you, and for us. But an unmoderated board is unacceptable to me. I find it to be just as unsafe as stressful interpersonal situations in real life. With those, I either solve the stressful aspects or, if I am unable to do that, I eliminate it from my life. Much as I love and appreciate Babble, I will do the same here if the board continues to be unmoderated.
Which will it be?
