> I just realized!!! LOL!!! I accuse Bob of watching US like we lab rats.....ROFL!!!! I think *I* do the same watching him!!!OMG ROFL!!!! This strikes me as hilarious!!!!
>
> MAnd a real insight, I think. Maybe there are posters who not only watch, but also "experiment" on me!
*LOL! Proly do too! Ha!!!
But the aspect of it that is mighty different would likely be what is the motivation for observing?
MY motivation to observe Bob, comes from a self protective POV. Bob has power by virtue of owning the site, so its good to keep and eye on him. Its also safer to try and know how he ticks so as to not let him hurt me. Maybe an internet version of hypervigilance!
However, there is also a wish to better understand how this site owner ticks, in that maybe then a person can possibly better find ways to communicate w/him that he might possibly understand. This is in order to make the site safer/better for babblefriends and myself.
So many reasons to keep an eye on Bob!!!
What Bobs motivations are I do not know.
For all that I try to figger the guy...I have FAILED. He is still an enigma to me. LOL! But he don't scare me nearly as much as he used to. Maybe in part its that I be keeping a distance from babble at the moment.
Dunno.
Interesting anyhow.
