>Muffled - I understand why it feels to you like Bob is telling Christempowered that he's 'bad.'
That's not it. It's the unrelenting "schooling" that was going on that I felt(and I believe others did as well) was disrespectful and unnecessary, whether Crist_Empowered felt bad during it or not.
>Just give it some thought. Try to read through the dialogue between CE and Bob.and try to 'hear' Bob saying "CE, you're a great guy, but this thing you said about anti-psychiatry and hogwash might make someone who is very anti-psychiatry feel like he's not welcome. I'm worried about them feeling bad. Can you rephrase your opinion in a way that wouldn't make an anti-psychiatry person feel bad about themselves?" Maybe if you can say that in your head as you read it, you'll be able to see it from a perspective that doesn't feel so threatening to you.
But that isn't how Bob said it. Is this how you think it should have been approached? If it is, then you must disagree with how Bob approached it.
