I did not see it as Dr Bob re-enforcing the original topics posted, but as Dr Bob saying 'OK everyone I know how hard it is to stay civil in this discussion, so thanks for your efforts'.
And GG, I wanted to ask almost exactly what you asked, about F's intentions, but I didn't. I thought you did a really good job of stating your questions, and I admired your courage for asking them. I also admired the 2 posters who tried to reach out compassionately to F. I was sorry to see that neither of those approaches seemed to work very well.
But I may need to bow out of this discussion. I'm afraid I'll either fall on the wrong side of 'civil' with remarks about F, or else further alienate and hurt the posters who are upset by the situation, by being too middle-of-the-road. I just want everyone to be able to accept it somehow, so they won't leave, so I won't lose them.
