Believe me, I take *everything* that Eric says with a huge barrel of salt. :-) He's been well known for similar behaviour on unmoderated Usenet groups for several years. He is an intensely emotionally reactive person, and these emotional reactions often manifest as rage or hostility. Based on my observations of him over the years, the intensity of Eric's visceral reactivity makes it impossible to engage him in a rational debate.
What underlies his hostility -- who knows? Perhaps it is partially temperamental. He has consistently professed a disdain for insight-oriented therapies, so it's unlikely that anyone ever will know (unless perhaps he does know, at some level). I personally don't believe that insight-oriented therapies are cures for any type of illness, but I do believe that they can improve one's understanding of oneself, which sometimes can change the direction of one's search for a cure.
