The thing is, I like you. So, all this between you and bob bothers me (probably more my issue, but true all the same). Isn't it possible that you have misunderstood some of Dr. Bob's intentions? You seem to be offended by the way he responds to you/issues but I am not sure that you have interpreted things correctly (maybe you have, I don't know). I just have to assume that he wouldn't go through the trouble of this site and this board if he had (all of) the qualities that you've attributed.

Now, I am not on the "Dr. Bob is our babbler savior" bandwagon. He messes up and pisses me off and occasionally makes me slam down my laptop . . . but if you've met some of the loveliest people you've known here, than in the "big picture" isn't he probably getting it mostly right?I took a break after all the new boards were implemented. I thought it wasn't the best idea (sorry Greg!) for the community, but other people seem to like it and it seems to work as a whole, so being in the minority, I dealt with it (with the above mentioned expressions of dislike of course).
I guess I am just saying that your dissapointment is well noted, and I think even internalzed by Bob and will probably have some unknown indirect impact on "blocks" in the future. At this point, do you need Dr. Bob to actually post an apology? (actual question, do not read as a sarcastic remark). You just seem to be really bothered by this whole thing and I am wondering what it would take for it to be okay for you.
