What quick action might that be, Bob? Do you expect us to somehow unring the bell? Or, go "La La La", and act like nothing happened?

I haven't read every post, but I've sampled a cross-section of posters and threads, and I keep seeing the same thing....requests for clarity on what your vision is, and how it will work. Can you not tell us that? If you think that you have, I'm telling you plainly that you have utterly failed.
Bob, I've been away a while, and some of my most unfavourable memories of you had faded away. But now I am fully congizant of just how difficult you are to converse with.
I don't think I have a problem with either reading the written word, or expressing myself in that format. But you have the most elastic and distorted use of words that I have ever encountered. Somehow, you make a word mean whatever you want it to mean. You seem to take perverse pleasure in ripping another person's words out of context (we arrange sentences into paragraphs for a reason), twisting those abstracted words just so, and trying to make them mean something else. Or, when asked a pointed question, your reply frequently conveys no meaning whatsoever, if you even bother to answer. Answering a question with a question is not an answer at all. But, perhaps worse is the not bothering to answer part.
I'm choosing my battles all right. And this is not how I wish to spend my time.
To all of the posters here, I want to sincerely apologize for my own situation. I want to be supportive. I really do. But I can't tolerate the structure as it has become. Babble has become an unhealthy place, for me. I can't just take part of it, and ignore the rest. It's all or nothing, and I'm choosing nothing.
Somehow, things have changed here dramatically, and yet nothing has changed. I'm sure Bob can explain that better than I can. <sarcasm>
See ya. I'll just keep my fond memories of y'all, and wish you all the best.
