I would hope to strive for compassion for those people I know (and babble as a collective entity) but enough emotional distance to not insert myself too deeply so that I get hurt when things don't go the way I'd like.
In spite of what your words express, a great deal of caring for the people at babble is relayed by your every post, Dinah. I too have experienced that positive transference regarding Dr Bob, and much of it is due directly to how enigmatic he keeps himself. During the time when you took your hiatus from deputy duties, and Dr Bob was not able to monitor the often quickly escalating and heated discussions here, is when I became disenchanted with the babble entity. Just knowing that someone is scanning and monitoring the posts shows that someone is caring.I'm sorry that you feel that you've cut yourself off from here, but I just don't think it's entirely true.
