No, I don't think that was playing a role. When you were able to start posting again, it was clear how much you wanted board members to join you in finding good solutions. It looked as though a number of posters were still angry and did not feel like replying. That seems to have eased up a lot more recently.
I just assumed that the deputies would jump in to help- perhaps having discussions with one another to develop the broadest and most helpful strategies to support and calm people. Instead, it seemed as though the deputies became part of the problem, supporting only one another and like-minded posters, and, I believe, using PCBs and blocks more liberally for posters whom they did not know particularly well and/or who held opposing views.I think everyone is aware that several people who were treated in this way are no longer posting. It would be great if the deputies were prepared to offer broad-based, impartial leadership when it is needed.
