yeah. i think you have talked about how if he left then you would too. in fact... i think a fair few people said that. and that tends to happen... has happened on another board when the clinician attempted to reduce their input.
> Yes, he doesn't have to do anything, in that he could shut down Babble tomorrow and not look back.
yeah. or he could piss off for a week or so and leave things in the hands of a new moderator. or whatever. he can do whatever he wants.
> he does have a sense of responsibility.
you mean... thus far he has turned up fairly reliably when things started to turn to custard. sure. i've seen that too. but he doesn't HAVE to. but it isn't even about that. i was getting at real life conduct. off these boards. contact people have with him of these boards. if people think he HAS to behave ethically because there will be consequences for him if he does not... well my point is what consequences? there aren't any. he isn't our clinician... he has no duty of care at all. he can do whatever he likes. but i don't think people grasp this... because he is 'dr' bob.
> True responsibility doesn't come from an external governing board anyway. As you should know, having been on the receiving end of extreme irresponsibility sanctioned by the external governing board. True responsibility comes from within.
yeah...
would you see a councellor if you knew they didn't come under an ethical board (so there would be no consequences for unethical behaviour)
would you?
i'd be out of there on first meeting...
yeah he says 'i have no duty to you i'm not your doctor'
but...
he is 'dr' bob.
he puts his pic up
he posts his one liners
he encourages people to process transference issues
etc etc
