And Lou may also feel condescended to and trivialized. Maybe you and he could support each other?

I keep hearing how much trouble it is for posters to deal with Lou. I have sympathy for the rock/hard place situation they find themselves in. Quick action on their part could, however, preclude many problems.

Because I'm your leader, not your servant.

I'd like to contribute here, but this whole can of worms would consume what little I have to give (as you can see already). I'd rather help people than fight with you, but maybe that's the best way that I can help.
You have a lot to offer. It's too bad Babble is going to miss out on that. But maybe Babble would miss out even if you stayed, because you'd fight with me rather than help people. Remember:
