Yes, it's changed. Maybe Babble was ready for, or even needed, a change.

Think of me as a homeless shelter. You can't be included because you're not homeless.

> How would you prefer I deal with the sh*t slinging here?Disclaimer: I'm thinking about the board. I can't know what's best for you. I'm curious, in fact, how this compares with the advice of your therapist and pdoc.
My thinking right now is that what would be good for the board would be:
1. not slinging it back
2. shielding yourself
3. helping others shield themselves
4. notifying me if you think I should respond
5. expressing how you feel
6. reflecting on times you've slung it yourself, or wanted to
7. supporting the slingerI know, easier said than done. Thanks for asking,
