I don't know how long you've been here, but I have been monitoring this board for a long time (though I just registered recently) And have seen many, many threads on this administrative board disputing dr. bob's overly strict policy. Usually it was because a very knowledgable individual was banned under the same circumstances crazy t was banned under. Dr. Bob does not learn.This is how it works, a thread ensues after a poor decision was made by Dr. bob. After a chain of about 100 posts urging Dr. Bob to reverse the decision, Bob steps in with some, one sentence response, he may do something like apologize for the poor decision, or whatever, but will just ban someone else for another ridiculous reason the next day, and the cycle repeats itself, it never stops.
His strict policies are a detriment to the community especially when people like CHEMIST and Larry Hoover, become blocked from the community, because of this forums insane guidelines.
Lets be real, noone was offended by anything they did, the violations were so in line with what happened to crazy-t. You have to ask yourself if it was worth losing such a valuable source of information, for a reason most everyone disagreed with. Bob is suppose to be doing what's best for the community, and alot of the times the community rails against Bob for his decisions.
Now that Dr. Bob insists on enforcing his strict rules we don't have the benefit of having people like chemist and larry hoover around. This is ridiculous, it feels like a dictatorship, you can't express yourself at all. In my opinion Dr. Bob is biased against certain members, especially those who may have an outstanding amount of knowledge about meds and such. Just about all the members who knew anything here have been banned, it's really a shame.
