> I feel Sal makes some very good points. I feel like maybe Dr Bob is a bit paranoid. I feel like Dr Bob has gone overboard. I feel like nobody has been harmed by boBB. I feel like civility is in the eye of the beholder.

> It seems to me, I mean I feel as if this person "boBB" started this unfortunate thread by daring to talk about his feelings.

> As I read the posts here, it seems to me the person is okay with his feelings, even though others seemed to concern themselves with what he dared to feel. It seems he has established clear referants for some of his feelings, which, as I understand it, is a goal of some humanistic therapies. I see other posts that say "your anger is okay." I feel like the boBB's anger is okay. He didn't threaten anybody.

> I feel like people might have tried to stigmatize him by calling him bizarre. I feel as if the idea that he is somehow exhibiting evidence of a disorder by involving himself in what kind of help he accepts seems to go against the educational, supportive mission of the site.
