Wait, I see that my original reading was incorrect, and it was the fear that Dr. Bob would close this site, not the obvious fact that he has the authority to make the rules here, was the thing that would lead to infantile dependence in this theory.
I still don't in any way see that as being true. I would be terribly sad if Dr. Bob closed Babble. And I really don't understand why he hasn't closed it many many dustups ago. I would have. But it doesn't appear to keep me or anyone else from saying what we think. And if Dr. Bob were to implement rules for this site that I couldn't in all conscience live with, as I stated below in another post, I would leave sadly but resolutely. And that also appears to be the general feeling here. Certainly enough people have left.
So again, instead of "infantile dependence", I would consider it a very adult and healthy cost/benefit analysis that each of us do.
But I can't speak for anyone else. Does anyone else feel an infantile dependence on Dr. Bob that keeps you from expressing your opinions? Now that the "shadow" has been brought to your attention?
