Dr. Bob may not be perfect, but he has created a wonderful forum that is helping many people cope everyday. Suing him seems so counterproductive. It could result in all of PB being shut down, which is not going to benefit anyone who reads or posts here.
Let's all take a deep breath, and remember that this comes up all the time. People interpret Dr. Bob in negative ways all the time. And then people interpret him in positive ways. People threaten to sue Dr. Bob. People defend Dr. Bob. It's just part of the culture of PB, especially on the Admin board. Some of us find it hard to take, and so we don't read Admin very often. Some of us love the debate, and jump in with both feet.
I sincerely hope that no one ever truly does decide to sue Dr. Bob. I would hate to see Dr. Bob decide to take down this incredibly valuable resource to protect himself, or due to court action or for any reason.
Personally, nothing that I've seen on here in the 10 months in which I've been participating warrants that kind of action anyway. But that's just my opinion. I tend to see most of the negativity toward Dr. Bob as projection - just because I usually don't see the negativity myself - but I could be totally wrong and applying my own positive projection.
