So, if I'm understanding you correctly, we don't actually disagree.
Signing up as a follower of Babble twitter is not something I would do and not something I'd advise any Babbler to do.
There are risks attendant on posting here or on any other endeavor. But Babble is not inherently unsafe (or at least not anymore so than any internet activity) and I hate for the belief that it is to be seen as undisputed truth.
What I was responding to was the comments all over Admin right now about Dr. Bob. And I disagreed with the factual basis for saying some of the things about him. Annoying he may be. Infuriating even. But to say he means anything but good for Babblers is, by everything I've ever heard out of his mouth and by his actions, the furthest thing from the truth. He does his best to provide a safe environment for Babblers at a time when it would appear that any benefit he gains from it is incidental rather than primary. Any of us may dispute his beliefs about what is best for Babble. But I see no reason to treat him with any less civility than a fellow babbler. Even if he doesn't care if we do, which he likely doesn't.
I see no basis for disagreement.
