This board is the most fun by far, it's the one place where Dr. Bob gets to really get in the mix and duke it out (in a supportive, civil tone of course).
It's unfortunate though, that Dr. Bob is a psychiatrist, cause it really messes up the dynamic for some people. We adore you for running this site Dr. Bob, but why have this Admin board? I mean, it pendulums between a bad episode of Judge Judy and coffee with the shop owner.
I think having a moderator is great, but I don't know yet if conversing with a moderator about moderating is great. It seems like a headache for you Dr. Bob and a dead end street for us. We make suggestions but in the end it's YOUR site so it kinda leaves a "too bad, sucks to be you" taste in people's mouth.
Sometimes the most supportive thing a person can do is just take the time to interact with someone. When I was reading SD's posts with Lou I was basically happy that someone was willing to get in and mix it up with him over the Gate/City of Peace (COP) stuff, cause I know that I am unable to. I think the discussion was better because of it. I know you want people to be civil, but being civil can include requests for people to do things differently (you do it all the time). The same way SD didn't need to read Lou's posts, Lou didn't have to stop talking about his rider on a white horse cause she asked him to. The most civil thing to me is a two way street.
I love this shit,-L
Oh yeah, I am waiting on that hrtlm block. That one is obvious! Thanks ;)
