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.

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.

But it didn't end there. User:Conservative, fearing that "word would get out" from others who had extensive interactions with him and knew his editing practices much better than Rob did, retaliated against the rumors by attacking Rob for his civil engagement with RationalWiki editors. Rob had collaborated with User:Conservative on a few pages in 2007 and saw how Rob's research had been misused and User:Conservative's pointless, silly interaction with RationalWiki editors, Rob withdrew from any further collaboration and limited interaction in the future. The record of [[leak]]ed emails of the private Conservapedia sysop group (leaked by User:TK and hacked by User:AceMcWicked) show virtually no interaction between Rob and User:Conservative between 2008 and to 2015. User:Conservative, in fact, was not a member of Andy Schlafly's original "brain trust" in 2007, as other sysops commented that he seemed a bit odd.
