> A. Is there the potential for one to have the potential to think that Dr. Hsiung's statement in question could lead one to think that some here need protection from me? Or that my posts could cause harm to someone?Maybe this is irrelevant, but you've quoted another poster to these boards, Lou, rather than Dr Bob. Tamar wrote what you're quoting. Or are you asking whether we think that Tamar is trying to say that people here need protection from you?
> B. If so, what do they need to be protected from?
> LouLou, has it crossed your mind that some people here really do need to be protected from you? That some people on these boards -- boards set up for people with varying mental and emotional disorders, let's not forget -- might be so psychologically fragile, so emotionally vulnerable, that they do need to be protected from reading some of what you write?
Let me say something here that is not strictly relevant to this particular thread, although you did bring it up in one post here: I, personally, am very deeply offended and upset when you make an analogy between what happens on this board and what happened to the Jews in Nazi Germany. That bothers me a very, very great deal, for very personal reasons, Lou. I find it profoundly disrespectful, and when I read the posts in which you make those analogies, Lou, I experience both rage and grief: rage, because you would dishonor so many people who suffered so much beyond human imagination by equating that suffering with anything that is merely written; and grief for all the people I grew up with and loved and whose memories I still love and cherish WHO ACTUALLY SUFFERED THAT NIGHTMARE!
Lou, do you really think that intentions do not matter? Sure, we all know which road uses good intentions as paving materials, but Lou? I've been part of this community for seven years now, and I've only seen a handful of people here who INTENTIONALLY write something hurtful.
Let me ask you this, Lou: when you write your analogies about the Holocaust, do you INTEND to cause me pain?
Or do you think that I should ask Dr Bob to look at what you've written and see if he should slap your wrist for it?
