> I feel sad for Bob. Because I think he is trying. I feel sad for Lou, for similar reasons. I don't see either as having ill intent or trying to wind people up or taking any kind of joy at all in people feeling so wound up about this whole situation.
~~You know, my therapist has suggested that if I do something and get a certain result and keep on doing it-- it must be because there's something about the result that I like. And Lou, for all his claims that he doesn't like the negative attention he gets here, likes the attention, for sure-- whether it's negative or not really he doesn't care. Attention gives him yet another reason for trumpeting his claims about parents drugging children, infanticide, genocide etc. In fact, often, Lou seems to relish the opportunity to be the much-maligned savior or prophet who comes to rescue humanity and is repudiated by it.

> I see a whole bunch of people trying to pressure Bob into punishing Lou... Really Very Insistently. Like they believe all their problems will go away if only this happens and really Bob is very withholding indeed not to grant this to them...~~We think that Bob's blocking Lou is going to solve all our problems???? Whew. Where do you get that from anything that anyone has said, implied, made an unspoken premise, etc?
The only thing Bob's blocking Lou would do is briefly save us the annoyance of having to monitor his blasts and to counter his misinformation. It would also vindicate this site, where now a lot of venom is spewed, unreproved. And it might, ever so slightly, suggest to Lou that he is accountable - not that I think that thought would really occur to him.
