I just had to put a couple of my cents in here.
I have no idea what kind of situation might have precipitated this hostility. Maybe some anger is justified (almost certainly not this form & expression & severity of anger, though); maybe not. And i'm sure i probably would not/ do not agree with all of Dr. Bob's views and decisions regarding this board and certain administrative aspects, such as what constitutes civility and anti-civility and the consequences of the latter. I don't even know if i would like him (the odds are stacked against him considering he's a psychiatrist-- hahhah) (though i'd like to hope i would).
Nevertheless, PsychoBabble is run by Dr. Bob. Also, there are a LOT of posts (i.e., probably requires a good deal of oversight), he seems to try his reasonable best, and it is an entirely voluntary agreement. ... But, most importantly, this board is extremely beneficial to many many people (even if i, at times, have questioned how detrimental are its addictive and time-obliterating properties, at least for me [ :?) ]). I have learned [and been helped, and hindered] so much from PsychoBabble it is ridiculous. I think overall it has been extremely beneficial for me though-- and again it certainly has for many people. And it would not be here if it wasn't for Dr. Bob. This might be sounding really cheesy right now, but everything i'm saying is true. Yes, it's ultimately a project equating to some semi-longitudinal study about-- well whatever it's exactly about-- and he might not even give a rat's behind about us (though i doubt that-- i think he probably does, at least on some level, reasonably speaking). But the bottom line is, this great board/site that is PsychoBabble/ "dr-bob.org" would not exist if it wasn't for Dr. Bob. Therefore, it does not really make sense to attack him in any fashion close to this, at least or particularly not on this board.Wow i did not intend on writing that much at all. Hopefully it has sOme kind of value.
