> > this is why *i* feel like i don't fit in...> In response to your question, though, the answer is no. Saying "I feel attacked" implies that there was an attacker, which violates the civility guidelines. That's a topic which has come up before regarding "I Statements."
**Yup we hashed this very one out good on admin!
> "I Statements" can be problematic. They're a lot more difficult than they seem at first. Often, I have to check with the other deputies to find out if something is a valid I statement, or if it needs work. Don't worry if it takes a bit of practice -- and sometimes thinking about it from five different angles.**and sometimes I NEVER get an understanding.....I just have to let it go. Sucks, but I am getting better at it.
> I hope that helps.**Ya Dory, if you ever got nothing to do and feel VERY strong, wander down the admin archives, but beware, it can get pretty nasty there.
But going there HAS helped me to better understand the rules. And to be honest, some I UTTERLY do not 'get' at all. Some rules I that fought tooth and nail against....I later came to a better understanding as to the whys and wherefores. The longer I am on babble, the more I appreciate the complexity here. And so, the difficulty in moderating. Its really astonishingly complex.
Though....if I were to boot Bob off his throne....LOL....I'm SURE I would be the ultimate perfect moderator...! NOT!
I'd proly run screaming off into the forest...
:-0 !
Take care Dory :-)
