In reply to Dr. Bob, here's what I think, posted by Larry Hoover on October 27, 2003, at 10:46:03
I was going to post last week and just say, This is me, shaking my fists in the air in frustration. That's still probably the best and most succinct way to say where I'm at as regards this web site. I no longer feel safe and supported by the owner of this site due to the highly articulate and erudite points that Larry and others have made as well as the rambling items below from my medicated brain. In any case, I now primarily post only on the meds board and find emotional support in a separate venue. You say Babble, I say Rabble. Word.
I do not feel that it is “conducive to civic harmony and welfare” (from the FAQ) to allow posters to carry on with instigating rants and tirades that may not contain the word a** but whose very essence is highly disruptive to the spirit of the boards and often results in other, typically positive posters being blocked after having their buttons pushed relentlessly by someone who is allowed to cause unchecked discord with maddening rhetoric, circular logic, and generic, I-just-stopped-my-meds-and-now-suddenly-everything-makes-sense talk. When Dr. Bob deems it more important to protect me from exposure to the word a** than repeated, disruptive and instigating posts, that’s reason number one I no longer feel safe here.
I feel that it was super shady that Kristen was granted early parole from behind the scenes. There are people, currently blocked, who were a POSITIVE presence on this board, who have never hurt people or misrepresented themselves, and who are greatly missed who would also benefit from such largesse. I support Larry in his view of this being a “deal breaker” for me just as I agree with Dinah that Dr. Bob will most likely remain behind the curtain and that is reason number two I no longer feel safe here. Like Jay said, it’s his site and he can do as he likes; but if he’s going to break his own rules then how can I continue to respect them or him?
