Like (((Dinah))), I sense that I am part of the problem, instead of part of the solution, for which I am completely dedicated to be. I ask all to think of a way for me to say, one more time, "I won't do that again, now that I can plainly see the negative outcome of my actions!" I promise that I will use what ever you suggest as my mantra for Babble.
Unlike (((Dinah))), I'm not a deputy, just some guy trying to figure out my part of the puzzle (of life). She has more responsibility than I to keep things ship-shape, whereas what I say usually doesn't start trouble, but this time it did. I suppose Lar let me off the hook by saying my post shoulda got a PBC and didn't, which makes his being blocked hurtful.
None of this has to happen. In my life, these Babble incidents don't happen much anymore. From my controlling past, I am tempted to joke that, "I don't got you'ns fully trained yet". When actually Babblers are simply diverse, heterogenous. This contrasts my homogenous (like homogenized milk) personal life.
Babble's diversity attracts me like a moth to the flame. I was recently in Chicago and was tempted to just drop in on Dr-Bob at Chicagoland-U. I guess it was lucky for both us that I ran outta spare time. Dropping in unannounced used to get me into trouble. See, I didn't have to relive my bad habits. Yay!

I actually *wasn't* sensing I was part of the problem.
Sigh.

I just hadn't thought of it in those terms, Rod. Being part of the problem. I was just sorry that my actions on that instance contributed to Lar's feeling hurt. It wasn't a global sort of feeling. I don't generally think that I'm part of the problem at Babble. I don't generally think of Babble as being a problem, of course.
I'm just not feeling too well right now, Rod. I'll be better shortly.

Bowtie,
You are not like ((((((((((((Dinah)))))))))))).You are infinitely more " innocent. "

I do not now, nor have I ever, seen Dinah as part of the problem (or whatever words were used). It is tragic that she (Dinah) spends so much of her energy, psychic intelligence, and just plain time, to moderate these boards only to be unappreciated.
Well, Dinah (real hug here), I appreciate you. I don't think you are part of the problem. But I do, in fact, think there IS a problem!
Don't you feel bad one second longer!!!
Shar

She has given me so much support since I started posting. I am truly lucky to have found this board. And even a deputy has to take a break from this place - none of this is remotely her fault.

Dinah sweetie pie - You are the essence of what is good about Babble. You are the spirit that makes Babble live. You give so much of yourself to help people here - you give until it literally hurts. You have shared your own story in ways that bring tears to my eyes.
Your humanity, your spark, these things make you so genuine. Thank you for all you do here.
Huge hugs! Your friend, Emmy

I appreciate your support. Y'all are terrific, you know. :)
I think I was just not feeling very well yesterday, and was a bit more vulnerable than usual. (For those of you who don't know me as well, "I'm not feeling very well" is my euphemism for "Stand back, I'm about to implode in atomic meltdown!"). Anyway, I think I feel better today. And if I didn't before, I surely would now. Thanks.

Dinah, you are quite the contrary - always.

Don't feel bad about what's been going on with those threads. It's not your fault in any way.
Personally, I can't imagine the stress that acting as deputy in this sitaution must cause you, and I'm impressed as all hell that you can manage it -- and manage it with so much grace.
Thank you, personally from me to you. You are a big part of what makes it possible for these boards to survive, and through them for a lot of us to survive. Just think, you can literally save lives from the relative comfort of your own keyboard. Not many people can say that they single handedly (unless you're a touch typist d^;) make the world richer and better for some many people in so much pain. I'm so sorry that it adds to your own psychic burden, but it's a real monument to your own strength and ability that you're able to do it, do it consistently, and continue to do it.
I hope that helps a bit. For a little measure mark on where it comes from: right now I'm on a ledge over the abyss, beyond the reach of the top. And your contributions were so strong I had to throw a note tied to a rock over the top onto solid ground, just for you. *That* is how important you are, even to someone in my current state.

So beautifully put, and so accurate. I'm not adding a thing. Just agreeing.

you should never sense that you are part of the problem dear. you've been nothing but inspirational, knowledgable, and a wonderful friend to me (and many others i'm sure!). you honestly set quite an example for many of us here, and for that i thank you darling. you really are one special lady. i can't think of a thing i'd change about you, except perhaps that you could see yourself the way i do. but then, maybe you'd have a head so big it wouldn't fit through the doorway.
(((((miss dinah)))))) you are really a very special person and i'm being completely honest when i say babble wouldn't be the same without you here. and it wouldn't be nearly as fun either. thank you for not only being honest, but for being so very special darling and setting such a wonderful example that i wish i could follow. (and perhaps one day i will slap bubba and say 'and that's for dinah too' but, could i call you for bail money when it happened? :)

lol. You are really special, KK. And I think there would be a Psychological Babble fund drive for the bail money. ;)
