The only thing i'm particularly interested in is why Bob is such a prick. Could he possibly be as ignorant of human psychology as he pretends to be in these threads? I'm aware psychiatrists often
don't know much about psychopharmacology, but i assumed they all had some modicum of listening skills, at least. The close adherence to arbitrary rules suggests something like autism/OCPD. Perhaps someone who knows the psychological side of things whos been around for years could say somehting more about him.Or, is he just enjoying the power to make other people jump when he says to? Going into some socially respected profession because you feel unimportant isn't that uncommon. usually trolling the interweb is for 16yr olds though. of course, with those killer social skills...
or he really is uncomfortable with the power he wants, hence the removal of agency from himself. which is kind of sad. Midas; Gollum.
I think there is no more charitable way to read his comments/actions, though i'd like to hear one. I think bob needs help and after providing a safe place for us, understanding him is the least we can do for him.
PS: I assume there is no risk of being blocked for posting this, because the rules state "post anything that could lead others to feel accused or put down" - some bleetings from the herd would not lead you to feel put down; you're far too important.
