Hello Larry, I'm a lurker and I had meant to post to you before. I always liked your posts very much for the real information in them, which I think can sometimes be more helpful than effusive messages of support.
It is very good of Bob to make this site available, and he has some high ideals for it, but I think in spite of that there is dysfunction in the system. I agree that you have become the current scapegoat.. If it is not possible for you to be real, then the only healthy thing you can do is to leave. Incidentally, Stjames posted recently that he couldn't understand why he was not blocked even though he overstepped the line frequently - I think that's because he is the clown in this system.
To switch from family dynamics to Jung! I saw some posts recently about the site's shadow, along the lines that the site's shadow consisted of profanity, name-calling, joking about death and so on. But these things are suppressed quite successfully, and isn't the shadow as much about about things which are acted out but not acknowledged? The shadow of this site also consists of envy, rage and cruelty which are not acknowledged and are acted out in a civil manner.
