Bollocks!  Anytime a business person or organization kicks up a fuss about
the extra time consumed by having Bob as a customer, it's a control
issue.  Maybe you should have a good long read over his litany of posts. 
Better yet, give old Bob an account on your system and see how much fun it
is!

If anyone has a control issue, it's the rabble around here who think that
an independent business can't stop business relations with a client who is
an incremental liability -- because of a non-existant motivation of
"censorship".

(Pathetic Toronto slag ignored.)

The issue with Bob is not his poetry, much of which is quite fun.  It's
his shit-in-the-sandbox attitude.  If you look at his remarks, you'll see
it quite quickly.  His disregard for others when it comes to his own
underdeveloped and incomplete agenda is the source of the fuss.
