Jesus wept! Not another PBC! I'm accruing these things like bloody speeding tickets. Good thing I'm about to go on holiday from PB. I do think that if you could demonstrate a much, much greater degree of empathy in all your decisions, and if you could bring yourself to allow intuitive empathy to shape your decisions more (or better still, all the time), you'd have a much more harmonious site. Next you'll argue that this would be unfair and capricious. Well, guess what, boyo: You're already very widely viewed as unfair and capricious -- and I believe one poster even referred to you as "heartless" as well. Let your heart rule your head more often, and I think your decisions as an administrator will be more successful and better received. I'd still like to see you apologize to Angel Girl for what I (and many, many others here) think was an appalling lapse of judgment. I think just that simple gesture would go a long way toward healing the wounds you've left across this site, and the damage you've done to your "status" as an authority figure. Because right now a good deal of this site is united in its disgust with you. That means all your future decisions will be questioned as well. Better to admit to one mistake and make a gentle and kind human being feel better than to stand pat due to some kind of foolish pride. I'd certainly think more of you, and that's saying a lot. Now I'm off the site for a non-PB holiday for about a month. All of this cr*p has really left my emotions twisted and unstable, and in someone with rapid-cycling BP, that ain't a good thing. I'll be curious to see whether you stay the same or grow as an administrator and a person in my absence. Atticus
