In a post above, I have tried to express the same thoughts. It is so distressing to have this degree of communication difficulty with Dr. Bob coming up over and over again.
Trying to think of things from his point of view, I think he would like to have good relationships with us - ones which are rewarding and which makes the work of moderating seem worthwhile. I think he also would like to feel understood and appreciated. But I do feel that he misses almost every chance for this by being so inflexible, and appearing to have very limited empathy or respect for the various viewpoints in the community.
I think that if he were able to lead Babble with flexibility, empathy and respect for each poster, there are no problems which we couldn't solve. This would require flexibility on our parts also, but I think that is there.
