But the question remained, "Why was Rob so dishonorably discharged under false pretenses in 2011?" The reason apparently was quite simple: in the toxic environment between Conservapedia and Rationalwiki editors, Rob was able to maintain an aire of [[civility]]. Rob was willing to discuss serious differing points of view on subjects he was knowledgeable of, and did not engage in senseless, meanspirited food fights and [[edit war]]s as such discussions between opposing editors always seemed to degenerate into. There was even somewhat of an aire of respect between Rob and his antagonists. For this reason - because Rob could engage in civil discussions with opponents, he was de-sysoped. The immediate cause was when a RationaWiki editor at the RationaWiki website asked Rob if he thought User:Conservative was "mentally ill". As per Conservapedia Guidelines and its Administrator's Guide page outline, Rob did not respond. Indeed, Rob viewed it as just another [[provocation]] and didn't hold an opinion on the subject. | But the question remained, "Why was Rob so dishonorably discharged under false pretenses in 2011?"
