When I read it, it did seem odd for a second, but they I assumed he did it simply because ron used "love" and the phrase "unconditional love" in his post describing an IRL group he was in....and Dr. Bob adopted the phrasing to make his point.
He's done this before more than once. For me, when Dr. Bob sort of "borrows" a poster's example, analogy, or way of expressing something, the actual words used, even a potentially loaded one like love (which does often make me a little crazy) it ceases to be much about him at that moment. I get a level of detachment from the word because Dr. Bob didn't originate it.
So even though I was surprised at how he chose to continue on with that, I didn't get as much serious meaning out of loving/not loving posters out of it as others did, I don't think. It was drained of it's emotional content re: Dr. Bob and Babblers **because** it was actually ron's choice of words being build upon.
If that makes any sense at all!
