In my personal opinion, some of the criticism directed at the deputies and Dr. Bob on this adminstrative board is not warranted even if some posters feel justified in leveling it at them.
What I'm suggesting is restraint. For people to take a few deep breaths and then ask themselves before posting, "Is this REALLY that important? Am I trying to achieve something positive without hurting others? Or am I lashing out on an issue that might not be all that significant in the big picture, simply because I can?"
I think that the more people ask themselves those types of questions before posting, the smaller the administrative forum will become.
