I hope not, because that wasn't the reason, it really wasn't. You didn't contribute to it, people were already angry, that's why you had the poll wasn't it?There have been many, many admin debacles far worse than this one, and nobody had to start any polls for them to ocurr. They do feel awful when you're in the centre of them, but somehow things seem to blow over always, even the times when it seems that babble would never be the same.
If Doctor Bob couldn't handle it, he would get rid of the administration board, he implemented it, it's not always been here. He's a big boy, he has no problem saying no, that's for sure. Believe it or not, I was one of Dr. Bobs biggest supporters until last October, I used to send him letters when I thought people were being rough on him, I couldn't understand the anger, but I see things much differently now. I think it was Mair who pointed out, that it seems to be his biggest supporters who end up being the ones most angry at, and hurt by him.
I hope you feel better tomorrow, I really do, this too shall pass. Babble self-corrects very quickly. I promise.
it is just me i am not in a good place

I went and had a look at another board and i was appalled and horrified by something over there. i guess it is allowed but it is not acceptable to me. i think that the civility rules are good and i really like it here and i just want the fighting to stop.
