< My leaving isn't a big thing & will have no lasting repurcussions.>
Wrong. Your leaving *is* a big thing.I think that *everyone* has a part of themselves (sometimes larger than others) where they display irrationality. So this is Dr. Bob's area.
We are sometimes convinced that even if the everyone else sees the sky as blue,we see it as yellow. And nothing anyone can say will change our mind, or make us even consider that the sky is indeed blue. This posture is one of the reasons why so many of us go to therapy.
So Dr. Bob made a major error and because it is his board, we have to accept that. We also have to accept that the administration board serves more to vent and support each other, rather than actually to initiate or produce change.
But to leave because of it, well why?
There is so much good that happens on PB; so much wonderful insight that you contribute to this board. Way more than Dr. Bob's positions, which sometimes annoy us, sometimes really anger us, but generally don't impact what we believe.
And in the scheme of things at PB, Bob's irrational moves are not that often. Weigh the good against the bad. Every leader disappoints in some way, I believe. But I do think there would be chaos without intervention.
The bottom line is we want you to stay. Your tremendous contribution is part of you--no one else can contribute the same things in the same way.
Would you reconsider?
