Lou-
I’m responding to your post to Mitchell and trouble in this one. I’m not sure how you think Dr. Bob discriminates toward you vs. anyone else that has been banned :-) A lot of people on the board are disabled and impaired as well, we all try to offer and receive support from others that have either been there in the past or the present.
I’ve never seen Dr. Bob ‘smashing us down’. If he had no empathy, the sight wouldn’t exist IMO, and as for lifting people up, I’ve seen that as well. If you search the start of the board, you’ll see that. This site has become so large that there’s no way he could respond to all, and if he responded to only some, those he didn’t respond to would accuse him of favoritism.
***Amendment I***
Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the government for a redress of grievances.I don’t see where Dr. Bob has ‘raped’ you of your Freedom of Speech. Dr. Bob isn’t Congress, therefore, it’s ‘technicalities’.The Ist Amendment guarantees you freedom of speech, however, that Freedom doesn’t automatically guarantee you freedom of consequences in the process of excercising those rights..As with slander, libel, etc., the 1st Amendment says it’s your right to free speech, doesn’t say the victim won’t sue you for every last dime if you do though.
You say Dr. Bob’s favorites were allowed to beat up on you, yet he removed those posts after you emailed him and requested so. I could respond with the fact that I emailed Dr. Bob two or three times to remove portions of 1 post . He neither removed that portion, nor did he reply to my email. Does that mean he’s playing favorites where you are concerned? If you asked and he removed those posts, how could it be an outrageous attempt by Dr. Bob to humiliate, cause you harm, and drive you from the board? YOURS were removed, mine weren’t, maybe he’s trying to drive me out instead…
I wouldn’t call him a coward either, if he wanted you gone, I don’t think you would have been allowed to post this one. I have to disagree with your term sadistic as well. From my knowledge, this is a far cry from sadistic behavior. When he blocks you, he tells you why; I’ve never seen a person blocked without an explanation. Since it’s his board, I guess he has the right to create his own laws as each state has theirs. I’ve not seen wrath imposed either. He’s judge, jury and executioner, there are no hearings. However, I’ve seen him tell ppl to email him privately (since posting isn’t an option). How can sin even be brought into it? He’s the ‘law enforcement’. He forces no one to participate, remain a member, and/or do anything they don’t want to except abide by his rules.
