I believe much mental illness resides in emotional repression, and as a result we tend to see symbolic action as illness. But civil disobedience is a well-developed form of warfare, and expresses in a variety of forms, ranging from complete passive resistance to active sabotage. My actions here are somewhere between that. I'm just ridiciuling the civility guidelines because they are such a farsical mask for a doctor whose abuse is exceeding his benefit and because I see such sustained illness and abuse among people working with his blessing.

The issues go far beyond this forum, titled so as to abuse the integrity of members. I didn't start thinking these things when I realized Chrusher has sprung a trap Hsiung-the-pusher provides his minions. I simply avoided exposing parts of my understanding while I was working on other matters -- matters in which Hsiung will likely reveal his unrepentant bigotry, as if he has not already by ignoring my contribution, now for several days and previously for two weeks before he admitted the obvious. What you see today is nothing but another insignificant firefight at an arbitrary checkpoint.

If you want to support me further, educate yourself, read views you don't agree with, and fight other people's battles.You're so welcome, and thank you too.
And if you ever feel the urge, flick on your babblemail for a split second and send me a message. I won't post my e-mail on the board.>
