I don't know if I have a bias for Twinleaf, but I certainly have been startled and even displeased by several of Bob's threats and acts of blocking her for periods of time.
I have always found her posts to be some of the most thoughtful, constructive, and illuminating on babble. In every instance that I recall, while she has sometimes been highly critical of some of Bob's actions, and has questioned his approach, and mode of response, what she writes always appeared to be in the service of the large purpose of strengthening babble. For this reason alone, I would have expected Bob to grant her greater latitude, not less. And especially when it came to himself. There were indeed many posts that were infintely more offensive in attacking Bob during some of the War of Dissemination, than ever were expressed by Twinleaf.
The earlier more rigidly moralisitc regime was not to my taste, personally, although I was able to apprecaite some of its strengths, even as I deeply questioned some overall rules and in particular individual decisions to ban people for long periods of time, that were made.
And I am quite surprised, really, to see some of your responses to her contributions. I would be most interested in being pointed toward posts that jane d and sleepygirl consider uncivil, since none of what she write struck me as uncivil, especially in the current climate.
