Dr. Bob, you asked:
"Do you feel he's just sharing what's worked for him or also pressuring you to do the same?"While no one is being TOLD they must do such 'n such (thereby seemingly refuting the idea of pressure), the predominant theme of Lou's posts always returns to the 'gates theory', as I call it.
It's the constant bombardment of these posts without just getting to the point, then including an e-mail for any interested readers to contact him, is what makes it seem like a subtle form of pressure.
I don't respond to Lou's posts & rarely read them anymore, other than an occasional quick skim. And it's true that those not interested can simply not reply to the posts besides not reading them. But I do feel this repeated postings of his 'gate theory' is tiresome & pushing it on sensitive people who can get discouraged by these posts.
Dr. Bob, I know you ARE doing your best, & it IS very difficult to know where to draw the line, but you DID ask for feedback & this is simply my feedback on the subject. I wanted to let you know how I felt, if you were interested.
