I believe Dr. Bob's intent was to provide for all of us a safe place to talk about our problems and ask questions. It is a gift. Unfortunately Greg, we have no "right" to it.
Regrettably, this gift has been tainted by some people with big problems. I have to agree with JohnL though: we don't need more moderation; what we all need is more self control - refraining from writing damaging posts and ignoring the hurtful posts and continuing to help each other. When I see a thread with the word "civility" in it, I might read the original post to see whether I might have a response, but I don't bother to read the disruptive ones below it anymore. There are lots of other threads and now two more PB boards.
