Honestly, Dr. Bob, I think the public requests are more likely to turn people off than the lack of posters urging another poster to repent. I understand your intent, I think. To have posters recognize that they are not powerless in the presence of Bob. But I wish you would listen to the feedback about the wording. I'm all for personal responsibility, and I'm not exactly an anarchist, but even I recognize that there are ways and ways to say something, and the way you're using isn't likely to get the result you want.
I understand what you're saying. I'm just asking you to understand what people are *hearing*.
