That's the post she mentioned, but I don't think it's really going to make anything clear. In fact, it may make things worse :-( I wish I could assist, I really do, but this is 100% Dr. Bob's issue. To paraphrase Dinah, I *know* I wouldn't state the new idea/method/change of Dr. Bob's as he would, or at least not frame it the same way. So I just can't speak for him and I will not. In fact, I understand so little of his POV, I couldn't explain it if I wanted to.
>I have been too upset to post since this.
I am so sorry, rsk. I wish I knew what else to say, but I don't. Don't be afraid. Posters are still here, and posting continues. Get support, do as you have been - it's okay, really. That all sounds simplistic and weird, but I mean it, I don't think that any of this will ultimately fatally wound Babble. I think Babble will continue.
>It looks like in light of this and all the deputies leaving or those that were previous ones leaving
Except for what Dinah has said she's doing as a deputy and/or poster, no current deputies are leaving. At least not right now. Anyone might choose to end their volunteering as a deputy for any number of reasons at any time. But Racer is not leaving, I am not leaving and Auntie Mel isn't leaving (isn't active lately, though.)
Unless I missed something, no former deputies actually said they were leaving either. ??
>Babble is indeed in trouble and with our queries being unanswered it leaves me to believe something serious is going on and that makes me more uneasy.
I get that, but as far as I know, nothing serious is going on (of course I don't know what you have in mind exactly) more than what Dinah has been comfortable sharing here. Policy changes, already started, it seems, as yet not explained or up for straightforward community discussion here. Nothing more than that. Only Dr. Bob knows for sure, but that's my take.
Hope that helps, not hurts more by adding confusion and fueling speculation. Seems like a bit of a no win position to be in for deputies - and Dinah - at this moment.
