I believe tht it more than "poor" when it comes to giving us real information. Isn't that where alot of our hurts come from?

Dr. Bob wondering why we are having such a difficult time grasping the truth, while posters are wondering why Dr. Bob refuses to disseminate information. :)I do not believe that my goals, here, are within the length of a football field (goals) to Bob's. In fact, for the most part I think that Bob's goals are self-serving and I thought that we learned all we needed to know about that in kindergarten. :-) Maybe we need to find out when his birthday is and gift him with that book.
Bob, I apologize right now if I am causing pain and discomfort, with my post, and I certainly don't mean to make you feel put down. I guess I sorta see you as the man to get the slingshot out for. :-)

> Perhaps it would be helpful to clarify which is the goal. We could say, "Dr. Bob, we're not looking for truth or wisdom, although we thank you kindly for trying to lead us to it. We're just asking for some information please. Now, what time is it?"If I asked Bob what time it is, Dinah, I believe he would answer me "what time do you want it to be?" I would walk off, bang my head against a wall and use my extensive supply of really bad words. I've done it on more than one occasion here.

> And I am certainly not trying to be disrespectful to anyone or their concerns in this post. I hope that posters who are also deputies may occasionally be allowed some playfulness? I had started writing the post and it struck me as an amusing picture, is all.I think that people have been hurt here by way of "administration's abstract reasoning/thinking". I know that I certainly have been on more than one occasion.
I would like it if the that deputies could play more, however I'd want the posters to know which game and what rules are being used. This statement has nothing to do with any one particular deputy. Dinah, there is a wide divide, in my world, between the board, the deputies and Bob. So, if deputies would like to play, as deputies, let us know and we'll do it.
I think that it boils down to this, (Bob, take notes) it is the not knowing, that disturbs people with mental health issues. We are already faced with not understanding our brains, our lives, our families, our work, our homes, planes, trains and automobiles. Let us please understand the site that is here to give us mental health support.
I think that most of us want to feel included and appreciated. I don't like living Anne's life as it must have been while waiting for the ax.
Respectfully, Pat, posting as a poster.
p.s. My fellow countrymen/women (LBJ) if you don't understand my posting style, I'll be happy to explan things for you. I realize that on occasion I write less like I'm applying for grad school and more like I am slouched back in my chair, drinking my iced coffee and trying to manuever around Mikee, the dumpster kitty. Good example right now, he stepped on the keyboard. Having a deadline on a chapter makes me dot my "eyes" and cross my "tees"..
Not only is MIkee a problem, with my style, Timmee just grabbed a lizard on the porch and I had to rescue the poor baby. :-) And my iced coffee isn't all that satisfying today.
I've always wanted to stand in a doorway and hold my arms up like Nixon did and flash that sign that he did. Did that mean "peace"? I was so caught up in trying to put someone through school that I paid very little attention to the physical details of Mr. Nixon. If that is what he meant, consider me standing in my back door waving, smiling and flashing peace to Babble.
