Oh, I forgot, love and kisses right back at you. It seems your interpretations have been way off a lot lately, in regards to my posts. But that is okay, I understand.

That post was more in regards to the whole thread. Sorry, 1musket, I didn't intend to aim at you specifically in that way.
Just wish this thread would end or go elsewhere cuz I hang on admin and psychology (used to visit social, but not much now). and this is just endless this thread, and doesn't seem to be to the benefit of much.
Thats all.
All good people, just not showing so well here...
:-(
Myself included,
I'll just go now, just didn't want you to misunderstand is all.
This seems to be a troublesome thread all round, myself included.
Best wishes to you musket.
If you want to come to calmer waters come over to psychology :-)

I'm sorry for my role in this conflict. I'm sorry if it's painful to watch and it hurt you.

You painted a lovely picture about life and your kids and beauty earlier (I forget exactly where you wrote it). Can you hold that close and steep in that love?

I'm sorry.

Lord I AM dumb.
Astonishingly so.
I can turn OFF notifications to this thread!!!
Duh!!!
Usu threads just kinda fade away, so I don't have to.
But now I will.
Good suggestion for any others who are struggling w/this.
You can do it from the blurb in your e-mail box.
Sigh. I amaze myself sometimes :-(

Muffled, Dr. Bob always assumes that those who post on Admin are doing so in their own efforts to improve Babble. So please be careful not to make them feel accused or put down.

I can understand the frustration, but please try to phrase it in I statements. If you have any questions about I statements, feel free to contact me or another deputy.

I know all that cost you time and probably aggravation. Sorry.

And I apologize to all who may have been upset reading my part in this thread. I let my anger get the best of my judgment. I'll try to focus on the positive going forward.

Please be sensitive to the feelings of others.

But please don't take this personally, this doesn't mean I don't like you or think you're a bad person.

If you or others have questions about this or about posting policies in general, or are interested in alternative ways of expressing yourself, please first see the FAQ:

Follow-ups regarding these issues, as well as replies to the above post, should of course themselves be civil.

Thanks,

Bob

PS: According to the current system:

previous block: 48 weeks
period of time since previous block: 147 weeks
uncivil toward a particular individual or group: no
particularly uncivil: no
different type of incivility: no
clearly didn't understand PBC and made effort to reply: no
provoked: no
uncivil in multiple posts at same time: no
already archived: no

If we take 147 weeks, divide by 10, and round, that's a reduction of 15 weeks. If we apply that to your previous block, that's 48 - 15 = 33 weeks.

> Dr. Bob is always free to override deputy decisions.

These posters were asked to be civil a couple weeks ago, so I'm going to block them for 1 week instead:

dispatcher
gardenergirl
fayeroe

Henrietta has been blocked before, and I'm also going to block her for 1 week:

previous block: 1 week
period of time since previous block: 7 weeks
uncivil toward a particular individual or group: yes
particularly uncivil: no
different type of incivility: no
clearly didn't understand PBC and made effort to reply: no
provoked: no
uncivil in multiple posts at same time: no
already archived: no

If we take 7 weeks, divide by 10, and round, that's a reduction of 1 week. If we apply that to her previous block, that takes her back to 0. And if we go from there, that's 1 week.

Happyflower has been blocked before, and I'm going to block her for 2 weeks:

previous block: 2 weeks
period of time since previous block: 9 weeks
uncivil toward a particular individual or group: yes
particularly uncivil: no
different type of incivility: no
clearly didn't understand PBC and made effort to reply: no
provoked: yes
uncivil in multiple posts at same time: no
already archived: no

If we take 9 weeks, divide by 10, and round, that's a reduction of 1 week. If we apply that to her previous block, that's 2 - 1 = 1 week. And if we double that, that's 2 weeks.

I hope they don't take this personally, this doesn't mean I don't like them or think they're bad people.

Bob

You're right, I didn't mean to imply that it's only envy, or even mostly envy, just that envy might be a particular angle, one that might be helpful to discuss.

To be fair :-) I started a separate thread to discuss fairness and consistency:
