Nemesio,

Sometimes it is hard for me to decide how to react to your posts. They are mixture of accusations and negative interpretations of what I am doing. That's all right. You have a right to disagree and to criticise me. I also ctiticise you. So far so good.

However ..... I don't know what to say about your good advice to find help for the menta ...[text shortened]... der to be more capable of how to value your diagnosis and advice. I hope you'll understand.

ivan,

If someone walking down the street, frothing at the mouth, stopped and assaulted a young woman bystander, who so happened to ask if he was alright, and shouted, "you! you're one of them! why do you persecute me?" Would you honestly think professional verification of that person having a problem is really needed?

You consult a psychiatrist to find out WHAT the problem is not WHETHER there is one.

I disagree that there is no such thing as the WolfPack phenomenon; I do believe it exists. I do believe that there people on this site who try to 'win arguments' by being harassing, degrading and belittling.

I disagree with Ivanhoe, however, about who precisely IS in such a group of people, the so-called WolfPack. ...[text shortened]... ay and gentle opposition to Ivanhoe's crusade.

Welcome to the 'club!' 😕

Thanks.

Ivanhoe, I have never disagreed that the phenomenon in and of itself exists. We were having a civil discussion that got railroaded somehow (I don't remember the details) about this once.

I disagreed with your labelling of certain people as members (and, implicitly, that other people that were not mentioned aren't members).

I also disagree with your tactic that so-called bullies need to be bullies.
