1. Never disagree with Dr. Bob or thou shalt be banished from the realm.
2. If thou shouldest ever disagree with Dr. Bob, referest thou to thine rule number one.
3. Even if thou thinkest that thou mightest disagree with Dr. Bob, turn thine eyes unto rule number one.
4. Even if thou mightest have the precognitive inkling that thou mightest dare to think that thou mightest dare to disagree with Dr. Bob, avert thine eyes from this rule and returnest thou to rule number one.
5. Even if thou dost have the electric impulse to have the precognitive inkling that thou mightest even dare to disagree with Dr. Bob, flee from this rule and glue thine eyes to rule number one.
6. Even if thou mayest have even the pre-conscious firing of the electric impulse to have the precognitive twitching that thou mightest care to disagree with Dr. Bob, run screaming from this rule and find thy refuge in rule number one.
7. If thou darest have the unconscious yet pre-conscious lighting of an electric impulse to ignite a precognitive inkling that thou mightest even dare to disagree with Dr. Bob, pray for mercy and clingest thou to rule number one.
8. If even before thy existential awakening in the unconscious and definitely pre-conscious twinkling of an electric impulse to fire a precognitive notion that thou mightest dare to disagree with Dr. Bob, beg for clemency and wipe thy brow with rule number one.
9. Even if from the pre-existential mist before thine existential awakening in the unconcious of the pre-conscious inkling of the electric impulse that mightest ignite a precognitive speculation that thou mightest dare to disagree with Dr. Bob, fret not and stand firm in rule number one.
10. Even if from the primordial abyss that issues forth the pre-existential mist before thine existential awakening in the unconscious of the pre-conscious twinkling of the electronic zapping that thou mightest even dare to disagree with Dr. Bob, hurry now and get thee back to rule number one.
The almighty BABBLE has spoken...
I do declare.

Simcha, I have, on occasion, disagreed mightily with Dr. Bob. I have argued with him, told him I thought he was being unfair, and threatened to have my mother give him a good talking to.
You don't get blocked for disagreeing with Dr. Bob. And he puts up with a lot more incivility directed at him than at others (although he doesn't accept unlimited incivility to himself). You get blocked for continuing to do what he asked you not to do.
So if you get PBC'd for calling XXX an idiot and you say "Dr. Bob you're right. I shouldn't have called XXX an idiot. Even though XXX is an idiot.", you'll get a block. But if you say "Dr. Bob, I disagree completely with your PBC and think it was unfair of you.", I doubt you'll get a block.
I'm sorry you're so angry.

I think you present a distorted and untrue representation of Dr Bob. You seem to have issues
here, but please, lets stick to what really is happening vs. the picture you painted in youe post.

See what I mean (referring to a thread above)? We all have different thresholds for humor. I think this post is FUNNY! A joke, if you will. Ironic, witty, great use of language and hyperbole. Not serious. For example:
The averting and glueing of eyes,
"Find thy refuge in Rule 1,"
"beg for clemency and wipe thy brow with rule number one,"
"...the pre-existential mist before thine existential awakening in the unconcious of the pre-conscious inkling of the electric impulse that mightest ignite a precognitive speculation...,"
"Even if from the primordial abyss that issues forth the pre-existential mist..."
(I had no idea Simcha was such a wit.)
Lou, did you find this post funny, or am I being a contrary little so-and-so today?
Best,Wendy

Wendy,
You wrote,[...Lou, did you find this post funny?...].
If you are referring to Simcha's post, then, in a sense, one could see some humor in it, but would not the {humor} be in the eyes of the betroller?

Windy,
You wrote,[...or am I being a contrary little so-and-so...].
You also wrote,[...Lou, do you think this post is funny?...]
Well,one could see {humour} n things that othrs may be blinded to. I thought your description of {being a little so-and so, was cute, and in a sense, giving to a smile. Now if one smiles, does that necessaryly mean that what they are smileing at is {humorous}? I guess it depends upon many factors?

I also saw the humour in it.. but I also saw it as saying what she actually believed.. I often put a humourous slant on things even though they are also my opinion.
Just because something is funny, doesn't mean its not an attack.

Wendy,
Thanks, I was laughing once I got to about #5.
Have you ever seen Monty Python? It sort of reminds me of the Holy Handgrenade.
Anyway, it was also meant in jest as well as a good, more positive way of expressing my anger at the administration of this board.
Thanks for getting it...

Holy hand-grenade.
Humor.
Angry tirade.
Witty critique.
Biting satire.
Attack.
Serious.
In jest.
Mountain out of molehill.Ain't language a gas?
Simcha, I appreciated your reply. One woman's Cabernet Sauvignon is another's old grape juice...
kindest regards,
W.
ps: Monty Python was a staple in my diet when I was in high school. We all worked (seriously) on our silly walks to get them just right...
