How many with good ideas would have been driven away if Bob hadn't been there? We have no data either way.

Same problem.

Unopposed? What could you *possibly* be referring to?! Bob is *constantly* opposed.
If you want to complain to me about Bob, you are complaining to the wrong guy. I spent years trying to get him to be more polite. I put more effort into it, hands down, than any of you jonny-come-lately whiners. I had just about exactly squat for support. People complained, but *no one* was willing to join me when it came time to put up or shut up. Not that there was any shutting up to be had, mind you.
So, you want to pick up the torch, knock yourself out. Me, I've been there, done that, changed my mind. Let's see if you last as long as I did. You've got a few more years to go still.
Ugh. Everyone should just shut up about trying to get Bob to shut up for all his shutting people up.
