Thanks for supporting Bobby, but I'm going to ask you to please not post anything that could lead others to feel accused.Please help me out if I missed some words/phrasing, but I don't think Phillipa or anyone told Bobby he was "attacking," or made a "strongly worded accusation." I did see Phillipa mention her own feelings and suggest Bobby might apologize, which is what Dr. Bob has recently asked posters to do. (I do realize, that no matter how gently phrased, *by its very nature* there may be an accusation involved. It's logical that a poster must think a post, or part of a post, is probably uncivil, or else why suggest an apology? However, per the threads and posts that have recently been on Admin, it seems Dr, Bob sees that as okay [pretty much inevitable?] if we are going to encourage each other to apologize.... This may be a work in progress)
If you or others have questions about this or about posting policies in general, or are interested in alternate ways of expressing yourself, please see the FAQ: http://www.dr-bob.org/babble/faq.html#civil
Follow ups regarding these issues should be directed to Admin, and should of course, be civil. Dr. Bob has oversight over deputy decisions, and he may choose a different action.

ps - If I myself am confused, utterly misreading this thread, Dr. Bob's wishes, or whatever else, I assure you, gabbi, I will be the first to beg your pardon....being a deputy when ideas, methods and practices shift, is *definitely* a work in progress for me.
