"Greater". Not even equal, but "greater". There does seem to be that undertone to many posts on Admin. Perhaps it's thought that if people really cared about Babblers they ought to ignore them and concentrate on being critical of Bob.
And to what purpose? I seriously doubt Dr. Bob is going to suddenly, upon reaching a certain threshold of negative remarks from those who have no desire to post here, smack his head and declare he's been wrong all this time about blocks and posting standards.
Exactly what are all these people who are said to care so much about Babble trying to achieve? Is the goal to change Babble or to make sure everyone knows how awful it is, so everyone leaves? If it's to change Babble, this method hasn't really seemed to have had a great deal of effect.
