> In practical and emotional terms, I would have to say no. Bob's repeated appearances and disappearances give an overall feeling of instability and uncertainty. It shows me how important a reliable "father- figure" is to this site (or any site). We don't need a lot of interaction, just a moderate to minimal amount of support, understanding and fair treatment that we can count on. That would have reinforced everyone's innate desire for improved health and a greater degree of trust in society. I think we do have to recognize that he has had some very harsh, unfair things said to him here in anger, but I still do think that it is reasonable to expect a leader to work things through and offer minimal but reliable leadership. Otherwise, the site itself becomes an additional source of stress in people's lives. I believe this is what has happened here, sadly.
I must guess that Dr. Bob acted to delete a few posts here yesterday. I think the poster had posted while being blocked under another name. I'm sure that Dr. Bob will begin posting again. It might be worth the wait.
