I suspect he found it interesting that he get could get hooked by something like this. If there had been a diary/journal section, something I thought Jenny (?) started, it might have been the best place for it. But if I watched a bunch of long videos and then realized my interaction wasn't really of interest I'd be at least a little pissed. But from Rob's side he probably feels like he isn't being given much leeway to work through what obviously has him puzzled. Sometimes we just got to let people process things in their own way especially if you care about them.
Yeah, I kind of wish he'd warned us he wasn't going to talk about it before we went in there, and I gave him multiple chances to clarify that before I got aggravated. Lesson learned. FWIW, I don't think he should go, and he's definitely not unwelcome here. I just want him to take a step back and realize how he was behaving and maybe adjust according to what a forum is for.
I know. Well I think we're all getting better at figuring out what kind of signaling is required to communicate through a medium like this. It hasn't been smooth for me but I thought Rob was light years ahead on that because he is usually so articulate and transparent. I guess the bottom line is everyone is in progress and no one is a finished product, probably ever.
