Dear Bob,
Hi.
I just wanted to say that I read your post "Linguistic thought and disassociation" and thought it was real good. It was worth my while not to completely avoid your name. I'm glad I read it. You certainly offered me an opportunity to learn. Thank you.
I never bothered to read any more of your posts along the "lithium vs placebo" thread beyond the one that I found worth my while to comment on.
> I posted the second time in this thread and again now because I don’t think it is very supportive of me to set an example of tolerating abuse toward myself that seems to stem from someones contempt for my distinct perspective. I may be different, but that does not mean you can hate me and get away with it. Tolerating hatred toward myself would set a bad example, as would returning hatred for hatred.
Perhaps now you can understand my motivation.
> If, in the heat of a moment, my analysis of someone’s behavior blurs into personal criticism, I try to get over it.
There was no heat at that moment.
> Let go of this hatred before it poisons you.
I'm trying.
Sincerely,
Scott
