Good bye

I have a lot of bad feelings about this place.
Some people I hate with the dispassion you reserve for cockroaches, just before you smash them into oblivion so that they not procreate.
Some I feel annoyed by, like the dog sh*t that clings to the bottom of your shoe.
Some people make me want to THROW UP. IN MY MOUTH.

Not naming names :-)
I know I can't be banned - or maybe this will be a first?!! Please?

Babble is a waste of bandwidth, peoples' time, and I deep down believe it's dangerous.

Note to Bob: you might want to remove me from your list of "civility buddies". Ha!

Onwards, as quickly as I can.

Take care. You're probably not in a state of mind to care, but thank you for the support you've given. It sucks to be disappointed. I'm sorry.

Do you really run a website?

I don't think I would mind too much being on any of your lists of least favorite people. I think the fact that I support Dr. Bob and his Psycho-Babble website qualifies me without exception. I would just like to know which list I made.

I don't like to see posts like yours, not because I find them so much offensive, as I find them desperate. They cause me less anger and more worry. I am concerned about you and would like to see for you only health and happiness. By the way, you can't abridge my right to have good thoughts about you and wish you the best, so don't bother telling me that I shouldn't.

Be well.


- Scott

Bet I made the list. No problem with this. Too many others here that are sweet and kind. I also wish you the very best in health. May you be well. Phillipa

Take care of yourself

Partly Cloudy has been a wonderful contributor, as well as a wonderful support to others for many years. I don't want to see her go- not one bit. Something in this complex situation on the board of long absences plus brief appearances on Dr.Bob's part must have raised issues of abandonment and neglect for her, as I suspect it has for many of us. I know it has for me, although I am in a better enough position to, I hope, deal with it so that I don't get hurt.

I don't know if Dr. Bob fully realizes that the majority of posters - those posting long-term who have allowed Babble to become important to them- are going to be strongly affected by major changes in his behavior. In this situation, it is his change from being over-involved, with too much emphasis on minor details, to being very under-involved in all aspects of the forum. It obviously (from the very reactive posts) causes the community more distress to have him appear only to address a technical malfunction while declining to be a source of emotional support, or perhaps it would be more realistic and fair to say. an important emotional presence, as he once was. I have been steadily getting the impression that he is not nearly as aware of the emotional effects of his behavior on the community he created as he is of the technical aspects of this site, at which he is clearly masterful. I would love to have him prove me wrong.

PC, I don't mean any disrespect by addressing you in the third person. It was just easier for me to articulate my thoughts. I hope you stay, and help us try to get this situation straightened out. If we can't, despite our best efforts, then I'm with you on the leaving.

While I agree with some of what you said, I do not believe that dr bob is responsible for preventing or relieving our distress. I don't think that could happen if he were here, responding, 24 hours, 7 days a week.
In my opinion, there is something to be said for lowered expectations, a kindness to others and for ourselves.
Expectations can be premeditated resentments.

sg, I find this post, and many others of yours, remarkably wise and reasonable. And helpful, too. You make me examine me own opinions and perceptions more closely.

Thanks for still sticking around. I appreciate you.

Thanks 10der :-)
I'm pretty sure that the last sentence is borrowed from AA.
I might be better off talking about my own stuff now, perhaps another thread.

I would agree with SLS that I"m worried for you, because you seem to be overwhelmed with hatred of some sort for the world.

But seriously, I advise you to try to minimize the vitriol. Venting such emotions is not healthy for you, or for anyone in earshot.

And really, is it necessary? you came back to check on the site so as to exit in such a way?
