Those of us who have watched this canned response repeatedly posted . still don't know how much of it is game, how much a result of carelessness and hurry, or whether we may simply be seeing an example emotional ignorance at work.
This post is in no way intended to suggest anything along the lines of "Zo thinks Bob is stupid," nor may any such implication be inferred.
Rather, it is clear, to my way of seeing, that there are many kinds of intelligence. Moderating is not an area where Bob shines - why should it necesssarily be?
More interestingly, one wonders why the feedback of so many, and over such length of time, is not made use of. One has to assume an *inability* to make use of. Which is in itself diagnostic. I am sorry, Bob, if any of this has hurt your feelings. It is not surprise that some posts may have reached a hurtful, angry pitch - again, vital human feedback that doesn't register. Vital even on the most practical level, of running a site that thrives.
