Shar,
OK...
> 1. Rzip, do you think that Dr. Bob's article somehow triggered the recent partings of some of the posters?
Yes.
> 2. Rzip, if posters were triggered to leave because of the article, how and why do you believe this occurred?
I think they were disillusioned to believe that this is a private exchange service. Someone once mentioned a fireplace chat. So, (IMO) I do not think people realized that what goes on here can be put into a public arena (i.e. a publication). The reality of it of course, is that this is a public site and many millions of people checked into this site every day, worldwide.
> 3. Rzip, does the fact that Dr. Bob wrote an article and published it somehow make you feel uncomfortable?Yes, because I am a very private person. So, I do not like aspects of me to be shared in any public media. OTOH, that I am so private and internal is precisely the problem. So, in a sense, it is good that this is a public site. It is personal struggle for me (to let go of old habits and fears/anxieties). I kind of respond differently, depending how I am feeling.
> 4. Rzip, do you feel there is a general air of discomfort in response to the article?
I think there is an unspoken air of uneasiness. But, that is just in my opinion.
> 5. Rzip, is your goal to be more of a contributor or evaluator, vs. a participant in Psycho-Babble?
Contributor (Not a evaluator)...and I do not know how else to express this more clearly, I love being a participant on PB. I love it :-) It is such a joy to me to communicate back and forth. The problem is that I have an impulsive aspect to my personality, so things tend to get out of hand. I am learning when to pull back through. I just want to actually participate couple of times per week. But, I read the posts here couple of times per day :-)
Thanks,
Rzip
