Hi Richard,

I appreciate your defense of Bob. But it's an undeniable fact that he has used the collective "we" in the latest of his acrimonious apologies. And while we're on that subject, I don't like his tone when he is called to task usually by people who are not trying to be critical but simply are trying to understand what to do. To my thinking, if he uses the word "we" on the air then it's the same as if it were printed in the newsletter and I must take it literally to mean "we".

Now, I don't want to make too fine a point of this and if it weren't part of a pattern then I would let it drop. But there are psychologists that will tell you that changing from "I" to "we" is indicative of an effort to deflect the truth or embarrassment. It's no great leap of logic since we have all been guilty of this at some point.

I wish Bob would openly discuss this and I think he owes it to those he led underwater in this trade to explain what his strategy is or ensure us that he even has a strategy. To date, all I've heard and read is static and it is very troubling.

Frankly, it's even unacceptable when taken in totality with his other recommendations because it makes him appear amateurish. This is going to be a dark cloud over his shoulder until he deals with it head on.
