I wholeheartedly support the deputies right to not only ask for, but demand Dr. Bob's attention to this site.
I mean it just seems to me that they signed on to be a deputy with the understanding that their efforts would not be the only ones that support the administrative efforts of the site.
I say this simply because this lack of support has consequences and they are manifesting right now in this thread.
I mean it has lead to what seems to be a deliberate decision on the part of a deputy to violate the civility rules of this site in an attempt to elicit that support.
It has also lead to the other deputies' decision to not only allow the self-admitted violation but to have to sanction another poster who questioned their decision.
But, then again, what does one do in a situation like this? How would any one of us have handled it?
I can say with much certainty that the deputies aren't trying to set up a situation in which their decisions appear to set a double standard. I also don't think that their decision not to enforce the rules of this site is based on whether or not they agree with what a poster/deputy is saying.
I think what we have here is a desperate set of circumstances in which the deputies need our support because they aren't getting what is entitled to them.
Come on everyone lets step up to the plate here...
