I recognize that your priorities differ. That's fine.
But please don't call my concerns overly rhetorical. I've experienced this shifting reality elsewhere and I know what it does to a stable sense of reality, or at least mine.
I can work around this. I seem unable to leave Babble so I'll have to. It's Dr. Bob's site and he gets to choose the rules, the priorities, and the values of this site. If I wanted that right, I'd have to start my own site. However, this is one more instance of something that has always been a big difference and advantage to me about Babble, and something I mention frequently as a reason I prefer Babble to other sites, changing. Babble is important to me, and I have expressed my feelings about something important to me, even vital to me, about someplace important to me. Something I've always found important about Babble, way back to the beginning. I have since the beginning been in favor of inclusiveness and openness. While I never believed that Dr. Bob shared my values on the former, he always has seemed to share my values on the latter.
Clearly your priorities, and Dr. Bob's priorities are different. As you said, in the end Dr. Bob will choose his priorities. Dr. Bob understands that this is shifting reality, and that that can be crazymaking. He knows that it can be used by those who wish to be uncivil. He's chosen his priorities. He's chosen what he finds important. But please don't verbally dismiss my concerns as overly rhetorical.
In addition, yes, I do respect people who take responsibility for their actions rather than try to cover them up. I'm not trying to hide it. I don't think it's anything to hide.
But they are two separate concerns. Please respect that.
