See Nick? The process works. Your post has given me sometining important to think about. Am I fueling the mental illness of another poster?
Of course, there will be those who don't feel that such "lessons" and the potential for emotional maturation that exists here have a place on the Administration board, and that Lou Pilder should be banned from posting on Psycho-Babble because of the turmoil they claim he provokes here. To those people whom find themselves experiencing intense emotional upset reading posts along such threads, I say, "You have the option to not read those posts.", even if for the upset person this means avoiding the submissions of only one individual poster.
As for me, I would continue to read and reply along such threads taking the position that Mr. Pilder and his privelege to post here at Psycho-Babble be maintained. I would have taken this same position and argued on behalf of Mr. Pilder and all other participants here as vehemently a year ago as I would today.
