> How would mentioning deputies, when there are no active deputies and are not likely to be, improve Babble? What gains can there be above the pain caused to former deputies?
Support could be above, or at least at the same level as, pain.
> But that you can see gain that outweighs the pain, despite the lack of current deputies, reinforces my belief that **this** Babble is not really the sort of environment I wish to put myself in. I can change my life by changing my environment. I choose not be in an uncivil environment.

> Do you really expect that we will support the deputies for trying to carry out policies which simply weren't working well? ... What is missing , in your mind? What support would you like from us that you feel we are not giving?

> TwinleafI do expect posters to support the deputies for contributing to and making sacrifices for Babble. They put themselves in harm's way. Maybe Deputies Day could be the Babble version of Veterans Day.
