Let me second what dreamerz said--if it helps to know, I don't email anyone either--what you see is what you get.
Internet boards are so prone to occasional erruptions because of the mode of communication--it is easy to misread intentions, humor, feelings, etc. And, like Phil said on PSB, we sometimes "shoot from the hip". Sometimes it is hard to gauge how something we say will be percieved by others. But I feel Dr. Bob has taken measures to help keep the erruptions in check, so the conflict stuff is not such a prominent feature here. It just comes in cycles every once in a while.
If it helps to know, when I see people getting into such tiffs online, I, personally, don't put much energy into thinking about who was right or who was wrong. It happens. It will blow over.
But I am sorry that people do get hurt. I am sorry you are feeling hurt now. I hope you will feel comfortable participating on the boards again.
