I feel rather sorry for bob, because he has to share a name with boBB.
I hadn't really read any of his threads before his comment on my post, but I didn't feel particularly harassed. I was slightly amused, and I simply assumed that he was feeling bad and hadn't read my post very carefully before posting. So, I took the time to reply which was probably a mistake.I hadn't paid attention to the Fred business, but if boBB would engage in cyberterrorism, perhaps it would be better simply to ignore all of his posts until he asks for help. I do think he must be very ill. I agree with him that the war on drugs is unjust and that many people who could benefit from medications have to resort to street drugs, but that doesn't require slamming all psychiatrists. I mention this, because it shows how often there can be a grain of truth in paranoia. So (here's a rich gem of material for the group dynamics researchers)I propose that we (excluding people like Mark H.) simply ignore his posts utterly and completely not even bothering to read them. Perhaps following each post archiving someone could write a post with the heading
ALL NEWBIES IN NEED OF SUPPORT: IGNORE boBBMaybe that would be more incendiary. I don't know.
