My understanding is that Dr Bob provides the situation/environment where we can share ideas and feelings etc. That includes giving it a context (the website doesnt say 'this is somewhere all Star Trek fans can discuss their favourite episode!'). Then having a role in helping to keep it safe by reminding people when they arent being civil etc.Otherwise, we are responsible for the content and how the boards are used. How and what we share is up to us.
Its good that Admin has its own board, and I suspect this will always be somewhere that people challenge any boundaries that are set, or perceptions. Real or assumed (people bring with them their expectations of bulletin boards, doctors, authority figures, support, psychiatrists etc etc). Joys of transference and projection! And some of the problems between posters get discussed. As well as future ideas and other admin.
As far as I know, Dr Bob's professional expertise means that none of this comes as a surprise, nor is he likely to take flight as a result. I think someone was worried about that? He has a load of patience with keeping the boards going for years. And his professionalism would also mean he would give us all lots of notice if he did have a mid-life crisis, and decide to become a surfing instructor in California instead!
(Sorry if I have misunderstood-I havent read all the postings in this thread- its late and I am also aware my phone bill is ticking up!)
