> I realize this is no longer about me. I still can't believe my leaving was that all that important. But I'd have to be an idiot not to see that it's taken on a life of its own. And a lot of reasons to be mad at Dr. Bob and Admin are in it.

> But you know, he surprised me tonight. Maybe he can surprise others too? Maybe he's more flexible than we give him credit for?* Dinah, as you know, this is not the first time we have had a go-round with Bob and his lack of communication.
I understand some lack of communication,but this is , as usu, over the top, again. I like babble better when Bobs not around much. However I do find his seeming lack of effective communication skills disheartening when I can see what an important place he holds here to many people. I fortunately seem to, for the most part, have been able to step back from him and not get caught up in his web. But not all are that fortunate, and like it or not, meaning to or not, Bob hurts those people. I think he needs to take some time to consider this phenomenon...or mebbe he is studying it???
But this keeps happening...over and over.
There is a recurring theme here...
If Bob truly DOES give a sh*t, maybe he will try to figger it out...or, more Boblike, wait for someone else to figger it and tell him perhaps.
Yes, he is a busy man, but like I have said before, he should not be running a website unless he is willing to care for it. If we were his kids, he would be considered to be abusing us with lack of care.
No, I do not think we need Bob all the time, if fact, the less Bob the better. But we need Bob too, cuz he is the only one who can actually change things here.
But then Bob won't change, but then Bob dissappears...
But then Bob never seems to come up with full answers.
He ignores direct questions.
Maybe he cares, but maybe he needs to give his baby to someone else, cuz he not got enuf time to properly care for it :-(
I dunno.
Maybe all will go back to 'normal' again...
But alot of people were hurt/triggered, yet again by Bobs lack of action.
Granted, if he were to post something....what might he post w/o further riling others...I'm not sure, but saying nothing doesn't seem to work, thats for sure.
Sad.
Just protect yourself from caring too much Dinah. Keep you eyes wide open round Bob, protect your heart.
