....but with this, I am.
I don't know if it's common knowledge or not, but you've been the subject of an experiment.
Internal versus external motivation in referral of primary care patients with depression to an internet support group: randomized controlled trial. Co-authored by our very own Dr. Bob.
Full-text: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3636270/
Reference 40 is also a full-text article, in support of PsychoBabble: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3222180/
It states that satisfaction with internet mental health support websites was mediated by active trust, as represented by affirmation of a statement such as: "I would act on the information presented on this website if needed.
Active trust, eh? Some guy named Lou comes to mind, who kind of poisons the "active trust" waters for me. But not for Bob, apparently.
No, Bob, I don't trust you, either. My perception is that you have made your mind up long ago, and that your "dialogue" with members is a farce. You have no intention of changing your mind, IMHO, and never did. You'll never convince me to change my values in order to accomodate your idea of what sustainabilty might be.
Good luck on your next experiment.
