this bob sounds like he could be a bit of a freak ... sorry greenleaves it sounds like people who know the history of this person have some very damning things to say ... you didn't realise that your stuff may be used in research?? i remember looking at that site a while ago (now i know who we are talking about) and being very dubious about the ethics of it (and not signing up). i would have thought it should be more obvious, if a bright young lady like you didn't pick up on that (which to me is a lil unethical).

it sounds to me as if you need to rein in your thoughts a little - sure, allow yourself to feel some pleasure when you see him post something that makes sense to you. respect him for running a board (if you can truthfully step outside yourself and say, ok, he's not trying to mess with people, he is trying to do a good thing).

the rest of you - i think you raise some really good points too but maybe not talking about GL's diagnosis would be more pertinent - it seems to me (and i have been on this board a lot shorter time than most of you, so please consider that i may not know everything) that GL is maybe misappropriating her affection (if this dr bob is as people say he is), but it doesn't seem psychotic to me - just misguided and way too intense to be healthy.

now - excuse me if i have put foot in mouth, but those are my views, and i just felt like sharing them :P
