> FWIW, I don't view anyone's ideas posted on any of these topics here as "crazy" and I find myself feeling a little dismayed at the use of the word. Sometimes people feel having their behaviors, ideas, speculations, etc. labeled with a term like "crazy" to be a put down, though, of course, that likely is not the intention at all. Especially on a MH board.

> my 1..5 cents....off the personal soapbox now...10der - I don't know if you read Violette's post that I was responding to - but just so you know - I did not view what Violette thought as 'crazy.' I was using her own twice reference to her wondering if it was crazy to think that I was Dr. Bob in disguise. My intent was to confirm for her that I am not Bob, and I don't even know him. And the truth is that Violette isn't the only one who has had that kind of thought cross their mind. It's important to me that you are clear in understanding that my use of the word was not in the context that it sounded like to you.
