Well said. The humble teaspoon, a fire extinguisher, and psychology were never intended to be used as weapons. Unfortunately, they will continue to be used for adverse purposes. When someone understands psychology, via either their first formal training or treatment session, they will be fully informed about what it is not to be used for. Psychological terms bandied about in a public forum are scientifically meaningless yet their implications can be very significant, even to the point of being fatal. -- Pete

Deliberately misinterpreting another's intentions in a public forum is equally harmful. Continuing to do so after having been corrected is both dishonest and deliberately harmful. You clowns can go around claiming to know better than I do what I think and believe, but all it proves is your own towering arrogance. I am not interested in hurting Rich or using any weapon against him. I think it is time we encouraged him to get help. Silence and denial will not help Rich. -- Waddling Eagle World Famous Flight Instructor

I will proceed to demonstrate with you. -- Mike Russell - http://www.curvemeister.com |
