I did seem to notice on the Med board, that Dr Bob had given a pbc for the response to your post to Lillabella. I hope that this signals that Bob has noticed the tenor of Lou's posts to some other posters.
I understand the ambivalence you feel, because I also believe that Bob contributed to many people's lives through psychobabble. I'm grateful to him for creating and sustaining this forum. Then, too he acts in good faith, but has a philosophy that I don't fully understand that guides his decision-making. I respect his right to act fairly within his definition---
But I also believe that we have a right-- or duty-- to speak about problematic or even destructive things that weaken our ability to be a real community. I try, although maybe not often enough, to question my own opinions-- and not to be too secure in their rightness--and to honor contributions such as Bob's-- but it's important also to have a honest voice, and not be swallowed by doubt.
I hope this place does continue as a constructive and open place, where new posters can find help, information, and understanding.
