LOL, thanks for the carrot warning! I am able to resit the carrot, I don't even plant them in my garden, I prefer tomatoes at least my bunny rabbits leave them alone. :-) LOL

I see that you're asking me these questions, or at least it appears so based on your reply. I've answered them to the best of my knowledge. However, you might wish to ask them of Dr. Bob or one of the active deputies for an "official response" if you feel you need one.

> Besides, like I have been told by you several times, isn't there a notification button to notify about posts that you have a problem with?

Um, still yes.

> Don't the rules apply to everyone?

Um, still yes.

> Or are some able to post about it on the boards while others aren't allowed?

Not that I'm aware. You might find more about this at http://www.dr-bob.org/babble/admin/20070605/msgs/764332.html

> Just wanting to verify, because this pertains to the topic of this thread after all.

okay

> That is why duel relationships are not encouraged between patients and clients in many professions.

I heartily agree. "Duel relationships" between patients and clients, and also between professionals and their clients are a really really bad idea. Bad for business, too.

> I truly believe that when a deputy takes off their badge of duty on the boards, that badge whether worn or not, still has effects on other babblers perceptions and actions with them.

That is helpful information, thank you.

F,
You're not comparing the student "guards" in the Stanford Prison Experiment by Zimbardo with members of the admin team here, are you?

Do you have any idea of how it feels to be a member of a group of four or five people who are being compared to that experiment?

Do you have any idea what it feels like to wake up every morning and read Admin?

I may be an arrogant prig, but I had the insane idea that I was doing good here. I even used to tell my therapist that I felt like this was my calling to do good in this world.

What an idiot I was.

I haven't told him that in a very long time. I've told him that I seem to be spending an awful lot of my time causing an awful lot of harm, and that it's one more area in my life where everything I do is wrong. There are so d*mn many of those.

I recognize those things as things I've said to you at one time or another.

I am not a liar. If I said them it's because I meant them.

And I don't know who you might think my friends are, but if you take a poll of the people I feel closest to, I think many of them will tell you they've been PBC'd by me at some point.

And perhaps most importantly, it's hard to give a PBC to a friend, but it's even harder to give one to someone you might have other feelings about. I personally pass on posts where I think it's at all possible that I might have a conflict of interest. The other deputies, I'm sure, will attest to that as will Dr. Bob.

For whatever this is worth, which likely is abolutely nothing whatsoever.

Given that the result of drinking the poisoned Kool Aid was that the victims of the Guyana tragedy were DEAD, I hardly think that having another glass would be doable. And I'm frankly shaken and profoundly OUTRAGED at the offer for ANYONE to do what the Guyana victims were coerced to do.

What exactly are you trying to say, Hen? One could reasonably assume that you're referring to some participant on this thread as the "carroteer". I guess I'm not quite getting your metaphor, so could you just speak plainly, please? Is someone supposed to be doing something to Happyflower or someone else in an attempt to cause her to behave in some predetermined way? I suppose if that's what you're saying, then I have to have a private, hearty chuckle. If not, it'll be a public "humminah?" Though either way, given my understanding of the carrot and stick metaphor, I suspect it's possible that if labeled as a "carroteer", despite my hearty laughter, I could feel accused of perhaps being manipulative or something similar.

Gosh, Henny Penny, whatever could you be trying to convey?

Lots of my Psych 101 students got those two confused, Happyflower. Don't feel bad. You'd be in good company.

 

And as for the rest and going forward
