Please be sensitive to the feelings of others and follow site guidelines by not pressuring them. Also, please use the Notification system if you wish to report posts that you believe violate the guidelines.
So far, the deputies have not commented on or made civility determinations on the idea/issue/suggestion brought to Dr. Bob's attention
in this post or in other places:http://www.dr-bob.org/babble/admin/20090707/msgs/909254.html
This is because it was brought to Dr. Bob's attention about 1 week ago, and we understood he would address it personally. However, as he has been unable to do so as of yet, I am stepping in in a limited way. I feel disappointed to see additional posts agreeing that Deneb's posts on this topic ought not be here. Not because others don't have equal rights to their feelings, reactions or opinions, but because posting in this way is not in keeping with civility. I can imagine feeling hurt if several other Babblers posted that they wished some of my posts were not here. Particularly more than once. One request or comment might be one thing, but multiple times qualifies as pressuring, in my opinion.
Deneb has said she wishes to continue to post these posts. The posts are not accusing, put downs or insensitive. They are not negatively characterizing other posters or Dr. Bob. She is not violating any Babble guidelines whatsoever.
There have been and will be types of posting behavior on Babble that we each might wish we just didn't run across. We are all individuals with triggers, likes, dislikes, etc. But feeling annoyed, uncomfortable with or dislike toward various posting styles, types or habits does not necessarily make them uncivil. I ask all to please try to keep in mind we all have feelings, sensitivities and needs for different kinds of support and education.
Dr. Bob has seen many of Deneb's posts regarding her feelings toward him in the past and never posted anything indicating she should stop.
So, until such time as Dr. Bob reappears to state some sort of policy prohibiting it, I would really appreciate if posters would please not pressure Deneb to change her posting behavior.Thanks.
If you or others have questions about this or about posting policies in general, or are interested in alternative ways of expressing yourself, please see the FAQ:
http://www.dr-bob.org/babble/faq.html#civil
Follow-ups regarding these issues should be redirected to Psycho-Babble Administration. They, as well as replies to the above posts, should of course themselves be civil.
Dr. Bob is always free to override deputy decisions. His email is on the bottom of each page. Please feel free to email him if you believe this decision was made in error.
