I think I could only be useful in a deputy role again if it was anonymously. Or, if there was some other way to help the deps and Dr Bob (I try to use the "notify the administrators" button if I see a problem developing on the boards); but I think that being a poster and being a deputy were incompatible roles for me. Deputizing made me feel quite stifled as a poster. And posting made me feel quite vulnerable as a deputy.
I know that this is not the case for all deputies. And I suppose that I learned quite a bit about myself in finding out just how much of myself I have invested in Babble.Muffled, your post struck a deep chord in me, but I know, I know that your words are meant in the kindest of ways. Never doubt that. It's how they were received that was the issue (that would be on MY end).
Please don't go, OK? These hurts will pass, and we will all learn from them.
