I do not understand the hostility !!!
Dr Bob administers this BB... nothing else within the BB...
The other information on the site refers to PUBLIC PUBLISHED INFORMATION...
There is a major difference between content interaction & observing behavior.
If Dr Bob had interacted with the posts in a content specific manner, then I could understand someone taking affront... However he never has !
This board is not therapy, even tho some try to use it for such... At best it is peer interaction with some level of support. Advice is freely given & sometimes that advice is even wrong... That is the way life & the real world works, even in person.
To observe only, takes great restraint????
Then there is this thing about a screen name being used in a publication... so what ??
screen names do not identify a person... if the content of posts do... that is the fault & responsibility of the person posting, not the BB admin... anyone can read this BB, just like a newspaper.
All BB managers with a sense of decorum, maintain peace & some rules of civility... otherwise the BB degenerates into ego battles & meaningful content disappears....
I have to commend Dr Bob for maintaining peace & civility in one of the most non-intrusive ways I have seen... this is across numerous BB & BB on many different topics..
