Frustration, it's frustration that resonates with me Bob, not powerlessness. You HAVE the power to create rules and impose them. You don't, so we get frustrated. Frustrated because while Dinah may have doubts about whether medication saves lives, I don't. I was hospitalized five times in ten years with manic or suicidal episodes until I commited to taking lithium. I was hospitalized once in the subsequent thirty years and that when I watched my mother die. Lithium saved my life. So f*ck you Lou. How's that for frustration? Lou is undoubtedly intelligent and clever. We know that because of his frustrating comunication style when there's evidence that he can communicate perfectly normally. And how in God's name does he get away with using veiled accusations that I and others are anti-semetic when you simply disagree with him? It's infuriating and manipulative and uncivil. No, Dinah, I have wasted my breath defending him in the past and hoping that he could be someone I could actually have a relationship with both here and privately through Babblemail. I'm tired of being accused of being an anti-semite who is stupid enough to be dependent on medication and about to drop dead any minute from these medications or my own hand. F*ck you Lou, I'm frustrated.
