Thing is, all we see here are the slides, and we don't hear what Dr Bob is actually saying.
Having given a couple of prsentations to groups of menta; health professionals, you really do just need to stick to the facts, and not emotionalise things.
If this was a presentation to us, as in PB'ers, then I would expect it to be alot softer and fluffier.. but as its to fellow proffesionals, I guess it needs to be kept to just facts and figures if that makes sense.
One feleing I have here, is that atleast Dr Bob is supporting the fcat that on-line communities do work and help.. we've all come across pdocs etc that dismiss the support we receive at places like this.. and I'm all for better understanding of it.
I guess if I posed the slides that I have used for some presentations, people would find them cold.. BUt I try and add the warmth with what I am actually saying to go along with the slides that give the points that need to be read.
I hope that I have shown another side of the problem.. and given people something to ponder on!
