I am taken aback by your perspective.
When I signed up here I remeber that I had to agree to allow any of my posts here to be re-printed or used by Dr. Bob. In return I get to use a well organized message board where I can meet people that have similar issues, where we can learn from each other.
I am not a therapy type person and this board serves me well. I do not feel so alone when I see people struggling the same way as I am. I gain hope reading of others' success.
I lurked for a long time before I ever posted and I have remarked often that this board is the cleanest run, with the kindest, most intelligent and helpful people out of all the various boards I visit. This is a board for people with mental illnesses!! This is the sanest spot on the net!
Why do you care what Dr. Bob does? I think the development of this place has helped more people that he ever could have in any practice. It seems as if he keeps himself out of sight by design. He wants to let this experiment run, without impediment. Seems like he is making sure that it is not about him.
I have seen so many places that degenerate into chaos and bickering. Due to the strict rules about flaming etc. we can keep on track and really address the important things.
What do you want this man to do? Why does it matter what he gets out of this? I do not feel exploited, disrespected or used.
Am I missing something? Becuase, from his rare interactions with people that I have seen I can read nothing more of him than what I listed above.
He could be a robot for all I know.
All of you on the other hand seem very real to me and I am personally greatful for the person who provides us this place, whatever his reason.
Peace,
Kaye
