> In my own very amorphous opinion, this is a really tough call for Dr Bob. He has a lot of conflicting needs to balance, and there's probably no way to make everyone happy with his decision. Having hard and fast rules, which he has, is likely to set off these little tempests now and again, when a popular poster is blocked, but making a different set of rules for popular posters would pretty well defeat the purpose of the basic rules, and of the boards here as a whole.racer,
i would feel this way if it were anyone, not just chemist. we are not asking for dr. bob to use a different set of rules for chemist...we are trying to find out which rules he broke, if any. so far, the only one i can see that he broke is one based purely on a misunderstanding, and an apology has been issued. also, admin was not there to reply to pleas for help. this, i do not feel, warrants a block no matter *who* it is. you must realize, we cannot discuss rules without also discussing the interpretation of those rules, as rules themselves are never the only factor. please see my last post to dr. bob for clarification in this issue. also, i am not here at admin for an academic debate...i am only here to address dr. bob in the hopes of figuring out this situation with him. but i have given you my response, nonetheless...if you disagree with it, that is your perogative...like a said, i prefer to direct my efforts in dr. bob's direction...
also, i am aware that dr. bob is not perfect...that doesn't mean i can't fight a ruling, does it? i like dr. bob, i like his web site, and i think he does a good job most of the time...dr. bob has allowed us the privilege of discussing his rulings with us, and i am taking full advantage of that opportunity. if anyone thinks i am anti-bob, then they are sadly mistaken..this man's web site has changed my life, and i genuinely like him..:)
