> Welcome back, Kali. I got a lot out of your last visit, and know that you are aware of our recent conflict about multiple consequetive posts. I took your advice and kept away from the discussion as I knew it would only upset me and I would not be able to add anything that could resolve the situation, so I thank you very much.
>How wonderful you could give that to yourself! :)
> A question I have for you is whether a deputy or multiple deputies of Dr. Bob might have helped in a situation like this. I don't know if I am reading the thread incorrectly but it looked like it might have escalated while the good doctor had his back turned...

> thank you!
> pcI don't know what a deputy is but I'm imagining that they might be members who help out with moderation/facilitation? If that's the case, I would say, yes indeed. Because I don't know their role it's hard to say but if it was within their role to suggest that there be a thread for those individuals who found the consecutive postings upsetting so they could talk it through and be heard and understood, and perhaps one for the poster to share his views about the issue without interrupting the ones who are upset, and perhaps even another for those who were okay with his posting. The idea isn't to set up "sides" as it might sound but to let everyone have a space to be really heard and explore what they're feeling. Often times that process allows things to resolve themselves.
If I've misunderstood the deputies' role, please let me know and I'll answer based on what their role is.
