(sort of like tennis: if a ball is too close to the line for the linesperson to see clearly, he/she is supposed to call the ball in, rather than out. I think that rule is there for a reason; and I think you could probably learn something from that tradition.)

> I am noticing lately a very busy PSB; however, the number of *posters* looks to be very limited. Could just be timing, but it does appear to me that you censor many of the more creative and therefore, perhaps controversial posters. The personality kids. (Maybe you need a creativity consult; like what is creative, opposed to offensive).

> hey shelli this is brilliant, me and my b/f thebasil were just talking about my relationship with dr.bob and it hasn't sunk in yet but will try to share what he said then maybe thebasil will come on and fix my interpretation, anyway he said dr.bob has offered us this forum consisting of 26 letters of the alphabet, we get all 26 letters, cool. then i come along and discover that the vowels can take all kinds of different shapes of means and expression, the letter "a" can sound like long a or short a or ahhhh, and the "ough" in words can be different too, like in "ought" and for godssakes "enough!"
both dr. bob and i think we are sticking to the rules and being consistent, and neither one of us can quite understand the position of the other.
i get it, i think.trouble
