> That isn't my experience at all. Rational arguments are responded to with questions that attempt to throw everything back on the person asking the question. I haven't seen Bob give a straight answer to a straight question in... All my time here... I really don't know why anyone would think that...
And yet in all my time here, I do think that. I think it because I've experienced it. Well, to be clear, Dr. Bob's idea of a straight answer and mine don't necessarily agree. But I have experienced him listening to a rational argument and seeing the validity of it.
And in all my time here, I've never known Dr. Bob to do anything at all because of popular opinion alone. Never.
I'm not saying that how you experience Dr. Bob isn't valid, but it is not how I experience him.
