Another consideration is the effect of feeling invested in the group. I was wreckless recently, I think, in part because I am less connected as before. That does not excuse my rant.
I am curious if Lou has ever congratulated anyone on Babble for finding a medication that helped them manage their illness. That would be supportive, and likely to improve his standing with some posters. I know I have never recieved any kind of support of this sort from him regarding what I have repeatedly discussed as a clear benefit to me from taking lithium. Of course, he has no obligation to do anything considerate here.
If you, Bob, are condidering moderating Babble again, does this mean that the hands laissez faire approach of the recent past was a failure, in your opnion?
