> I took the doctor at his word when he declared the duration of his sanction, though he has some undisclosed reason about which I can easily speculate why he might not have unblocked the second of the names. I'm not that much of a fool, so I never tried again to use the second name, but the first name appeared to have remained blocked. He said maybe he forgot. I wasn't really interested in getting into a private conversation with him after he didn't respond to my first e-mail, so I posted my concerns here. I feel our public conversations are more productive and more worth my time. He didn't seem that interested in discussing at length why he didn't unblock each of the names, so I let it be.
>I don't believe this part. From the vehemence of your reactions here -- and at the risk of a PBC or even a block myself -- it sounds to me as though you prefer to avoid the private correspondence in favor of public broadcast, because it gives you a chance to air your opinions about Dr Bob yet again.
So far, I haven't seen anything in this thread, nor in your threads under the name Used2B, nor in your threads under the other names you've used in the past -- including your original name -- which indicates any willingness to find a workable compromise. All I've seen is anger, and an absolute unwillingness to compromise.
> I figured a person who is responsible to make sure the right person gets the right meds, and who knows how to set up advanced computer scripts could easily set up a record keeping system to let him track and fulfill promises he's made.
And for the record: we're not Dr Bob's patients. We are people who visit a website he has put up, where we can choose to come and get support -- OR NOT -- and he has no obligation to us whatsoever. He could, should he choose, to take down this site entirely. That would be his choice. How he runs it works most of the time for most of the people here. Those of us who continue to come here after an extended period of time find something here that is useful for us. Why does that bother you so much?
Asking that the man who administers this site to be a doctor to all of us is ridiculous and inappropriate. He is a webmaster and forum administrator here. He is a doctor at a clinic in Chicago. Those things are unrelated, when you come right down to it. As a webmaster, I've found him to be generally fair, although I will admit that it seems he is more likely to check posts from someone who has recently been on his radar after a PBC or a block. That seems wise to me.
I'm sorry that you've had so much damage from your interactions here. I hope that, with sufficient time and the help of a good therapist, you can recover from the trauma.
