Fires,
if you keep banning people from talking to you (two already, correct?) you're soon going to have no one with whom to converse! (Are you going to ban ME, now, for questioning you?)It seems to me that you don't really know how to get along with people through the written word. You tend to misinterpret things, find fault where none was intended, and-- for one who claims to hate being assigned motivations and blame -- are VERY quick to assign motives to others!
I agree with Susan: Reading betw. the lines, you DON'T seem very open to therapy. So many ground rules -- coupled with your other posts -- makes the written "fires" seem rigid, inflexible, and emotionally unavailable.
It's hard to 'write nice' to you -- you disagree with so much. What do you really want here? There is an underlying tone here of "touchy feeling" helping hands on Babble (maybe not in my message, obviously, but a general trend) -- and it seems that you don't like such things. Are you trying to reach out? Do you consider yourself to be a considerate person? Do you have friends in 'real life?' Are you trying to make friends on Babble? Do you realize that you're going about it the wrong way?
I'm interested in your response. If Dr. Bob bans me...so be it. I'll read the answers...and come back (hopefully in a better mood!) in a few (?) weeks.

I have toyed with the idea of whether you are really "you" or a prankster jerking us all around and seeing how we react to such an inflammatory person!
I don't think Susan was trying to insult you. She was asking a question, and couched it in tender language to insulate you from pain.
> > Please take this with a grain of salt, Fires, but then again ... it sounds like some part of you really doesn't want to see a therapist. What do you think? I'm really saying this gently, please take it that way. I'm probably all wrong, right?
