Dinah,
Yeah, I was pretty bothered about it when I first read about and OT Board, but I do appreciate the discussion around it, and I think that I do *understand* the sentiments on both sides finally. Though my vote would of course be to forgo additional boards, I think what Dr. Bob is trying to ride out whether the support an OT board affords those that have felt disconnected is worth the annoyance/hurt that others will feel by its creation.
I basically think that there are alot of things that could be done to help people feel more supported (things I have alluded to in humor and seriously in other posts) but I really think that people should try and find a way to connect/be supportive on PSB, not create more boards. I think its a can of worms to start creating special "rooms" to help people out cause it will get endless. (and by this I mean exclusive rooms, not the PSB/PB split)

Adapting is a fact of life, and I am not sure that creating a special board for people to catch up on is better than encouraging OT/Newbies to try to figure out a way to catch up/connect/be supportive with what currently exists. I do think that PSB can get a little rowdy, but I would rather see people figure out how to navigate and be supportive/connected there, than for people to retreat to their own corners.

SO, I am sorry that it bothers you, and if it was my board, it would be different, but there would probably just be something else that upset people, because it really is hard to please everyone. That's why it's best to stay out of the pleasing business. :)
All the best to you Dinah, glad you're here.
