There was a redirect. When the posts are transferred over, apparently the browser sees them as new posts so don't show as read. I've never been entirely sure of how you access Babble. You've mentioned google, etc. in ways I don't understand. Do you mean that Babble is your homepage?
Thank you for your kind words. I'm ok, Phillipa.
I was worried myself whether you meant me by your initial post. I think posts pointing out bad behavior by unmentioned posters might leave many posters feeling a bit defensive. Posters you never had in mind. But it probably wouldn't be all that helpful to clarify.
Perhaps a supportive statement on the original thread might be the best option? Much like the one you made about me. That way if there is incivility, at least the poster on the receiving end of it won't feel alone and abandoned, or as if everyone on the site agreed. I remember from middle school that that was the worst part of it.
And I'm entirely in favor of complaining about Bob's abandonment.
