Sara,
I may not always agree with the way Dr. Bob enforces the rules, and I certainly agree with verne that no system of rules will actually prevent all that it is intended to prevent, but there is no doubt that some kind of rules are needed in order for this forum to work in the way it is meant to: as a safe, supportive environment. There may be other forums that are centered on debating issues where such rules would not be appropriate. I don't this was meant to be a forum for debate so much as a forum for "sharing feelings" (as sappy as that sounds). And (although it's hard to believe I'm saying this) I for one am glad to have the forum the way it is.
I'm sorry you don't like it. Maybe if you stick around you'll see what I'm talking about and might even appreciate the small protection the rules afford us.
