Even if some people disapprove of what Bob does with the site, I'm not sure what that indicates. Lots of us disagree with certain policies Bob has on the site; many objections are wellthought out, and have merit, although our opinions diverge about this.
I'm not surprised that some psychiatrists or other trained mental health workers disapprove of the site. We should all be aware-- as I hope we are-- that our posts are stored somewhere. That doesn't mean, of course, that anyone will read them-- but we all should protect our own privacy--and we need to recognize the limits of any site, or place, as well.. But people in a field frequently disagree or disapprove of things that others in the field do. All mental health sites and agencies, and practitioners have flaws and limitations.
I personally find great value in this site, and feel that others do, too. While we may be frustrated or angry at times about various issues, I would hope that most of us who participate could also acknowledge a great debt to Bob for running a site with so much value-- even if it's flawed or lacking in some respects.
