Many people are saddened by the fact that so many people no longer post for whatever reason. I certainly am. The opposition to the Facebook/Twitter thing may have been a part of a conflict with Bob about the reasons for the decline of participation. Some people wanted Bob to acknowledge that the implementation of the civility rules had driven people away. If that had been given, one reason for opposition to Facebook and Twitter links would have fallen away, leaving the worries about privacy and concerns about the content of Twitter.
That's how I recall it, anyway.
