I feel a bit like explaining a bit here, I don't really feel "uncivil". What I did was acting under the law I have been under the last year as a clinical psychologist in Norway. In Norway it is stated in the law that "health workers are required to react and help when something inapropriate is happing that is linked to the field they are working, unless it is life threatening for the person to do so". A doctor is for example required to stop and give medical help if he happens to be at the site of an accident. A psychologist is required to react when someone is deliberately harassing someone else, espescially when that someone else is a severly depressed and suicidal person. I saw his attack towards this woman as very harsh and cruel considering the state she was in when she wrote that letter, and I tried to explain that to him so he would understand why I didn't understand his reaction. I can see that I used words that was unnecessarily strong, but I am also specifying that I don't mean to offend him.
I also understand that you probably have different rules over the water, I am sorry, a bit too well trained in my own countries ethics I guess. Yes, I understand that ethics vary, and my countries isn't necessarily the best. I think I must have forgotten this for a moment though, I guess I can blame it on the bronchitis I have been strugling with the last two weeks.
I am sorry mr Lou, and dr Bob, I will certainly restrain my temper next time long enough to be careful towards all parts.
