Fivefires,
It was my understanding and interpretation - and Racer's as well - that kninelover was referring to *my* post to *you.* This is why Racer issued a PBC in this thread.
If this was not the case, I - in both roles as a deputy and a poster - would be interested in knowing where the misunderstanding happened. If there is a possibility the PBC was issue based on a misunderstanding, that's very important to find out.
And FF, I was surprised to see I'd perhaps caused a problem by using the acronym "IRL." I used it purely, and *only* to separate what Dr. Bob (or anyone) does offline, from what they do/say online. That's it - no more. Now you've got me thinking about it (and thank you, BTW) it is kind of an unnecessary term - this "IRL." Just a habit, I guess. It's all very REAL to me! I absolutely do consider this real life. Most of my best friends are here - whether they know it or not :-)
I felt bewildered by the things you wrote about importance. All I know is you mentioned feeling hurt, after I posted to you, and so I am truly sorry. I did not mean to hurt you or trigger hurt by saying 'IRL.' I have felt bad ever since and didn't know what to say to you.
Believe me, I would never presume to decide what Dr. Bob's priorities are, or what things he does in his life are more important than other things. I haven't any idea, really. I don't know him that well or in that way. That might be a good question to ask him when he is here.
I also think your ideas about Babble are completely valid, and that others probably wonder similar things, too. They are not off the wall, IMO. I hope Dr. Bob reads this thread and it opens a discussion with posters about what you brought up regarding different ways to administer the Babble community. You are a member and it is important to you, so therefore, it is important, period.
