It is 2016 and Dr. Bob is active on his twitter account here: @dr_bob
Has anyone attempted to reach him (politely) via Twitter to request assistance spam on this site?
Forgive me if this has been discussed. I haven't followed any of the discussions about why the system addmin has been absent. There is simply too many messages and I have no interest in wading through them.
I do hope @dr_Bob visits though and IP bans users who are abusing this site and discouraging meaningful conversation. It's becoming a pointless site.
I'll fire off a tweet at some point when I get a chance.....I'd just prefer it to be semi anonymous.

Perhaps you can send email to:
I have had limited discourse with Dr. Hsiung at this address.
I have never confronted Dr. Bob regarding the possibility that he has been threatened by lawyers or organizations that Lou Pilder may have enlisted. It has always been my suspicion that this was true. I believe that this became obvious as soon as the doctor began to protect Mr. Pilder and elected not to block him from posting - or even issue him a "Please be civil" warning. What Mr. Pilder posted was clearly uncivil according to forum regulations, and damaging to the individual and the collective. I decided not to broach the subject with the doctor. I thought it too personal a question and a breach of boundaries. He never volunteered his reasons for avoiding this forum. However, I have reported to him the words and behaviors of Lou Pilder on several occasions. He was quite sad. He genuinely misses and cares about Psycho-Babble. I can't help but to think that his hands are tied.
What Tabitha did was amazing, diligent, well reported, and courageous. The information gathered helps to explain the behavior of Lou Pilder as that of a true Internet troll, possessing the character traits of the "dark tetrad". He is not really cute, even though he has been treated by many people as being such for many years.

Don't feed the troll.
This is the only way to salvage this website.
Lou Pilder is extrememly, extremely ignorant of organic chemistry, psychopharmacology, and psychiatry in general. Knowing this, it seems silly to interact with him at all. However, at times, it might be important to interact with a poster regarding Pilder's behavior. This is different from interacting with Pilder directly. It is critically important to simply ignore his posts entirely. I try to.
Don't feed the troll.
For anyone who would like to continue to keep Psycho-Babble alive and relevant, this is what needs to occur. Ignoring Lou Pilder completely should work. It has in the past. Just be prepared for an acute increase in his posting frequency for awhile as he becomes desperate for attention and the opportunity to inflict damage.

calling something a microaggression is a microaggression. a better term: microhurt. #agpa2016nyc
Also, it's a bit disturbing to see he was tweeting babble posts in 2014. I hope he had the permission of the babblers whose posts he tweeted.

I noticed that too. I wonder if we 'agreed' to something when we signed up.

My thoughts on the demise of babble are that there is a convergence of reasons, and, as Tabitha mentioned, inforced civility was chilling.
