Ok, I don't know if I will have time tonight to get to the end of this thread (or topic). But I want to answer this.

Dysfunction Junction was seriously upset at my position on surveys to the point where he/she thought I was an ed counselor or affiliated with HLA and asked me to show who I was and have all my posts placed under a user name so she could look at my history here on the forum.
No, I don't think anyone's upset about the fact of the surveys being done. I think it's that we were talking about clinical studies and you jumped in w/ insistance that those marketing surveys are just the same, if not better. You're wrong, darlin, just plain wrong. They're not the same at all and you ought to know it.
I agreed and at the same time my search function was disrupted (the results come out in assending instead of descending order which makes it difficult to search anything over 200 posts).
No, that's just a limitation of the softwear. Everybody gets it. I'm almost up to the task of rewriting some of the pager code so that it will work within the search function. Patience, grasshopper! This is a volunteer effort, not a professional one. Many people and projects take precidence over non-trivial softwear improvements and bug fixes.
1. Is everyone satisfied with my history?
2. Did it serve a purpose?
3. Does this happen to everyone who disagrees with Dysfunction J. or who she/he suspects is an ed con or am I the first?
4. Why is she/he so sensitive to debate or people who challenge him/her, and why would you facilitate her personal needs?
Ok, you're assuming a WHOLE lot here. First, DJ hasn't got any more sway in how I admin this server than you do. I was only asking in general terms, what's your interest. DJ asked about tying your posts together and
you said yes! I was surprised, but it is helpful. It's just damned hard to have a conversation w/ a dozen ppl when half of them are unidentifiable. How can you get upset for someone mistaking you for someone else when you're posting anon?
No, this doesn't happen to anyone who disagrees w/ anyone. This happens to people who either request it or who I ask and they give permission. That's another huge difference between an open forum and the Program. Ask any kid who's been through one of these places how much choice they had wrt divulging personal information. And THIS IS NOT PERSONAL!!! I don't know any more about you now than I did before I reassigned your anon posts. Everybody else now can find out, if their interested, the context in which you're speaking. That's it. That's the whole thing.
And, btw, I know who you are
because you told me! I didn't go to any extra-ordinary means. I just read what you have written, and now you're mad at me! Waaaaahhhh! :cry2:
Sorry, don't mean to make fun of you. But really, isn't this a rediculous conversation?
And I didn't actually pick Little Cat for you, that was an error. I meant to pick Joe Goebbels for you, but as you can see, I haven't even found time to update your post count. I have since apologized to LittleCat, who seems like a decent sort of fellos. But it was only a prank. I think I sent you the password so you can change it. I'll try another way.
If you dont care to have me as part of your discussion, be up front with me, I will go away.

No, I'm really glad you came along. And, fwiw, here's my assessment of who you are. I don't know if you're an edcon, a marketer, a lawyer, a "counselor" or you have financial interest in a behavior mod school. For all I know, you could be a PI, a rabidly dedicated parent volunteer or just another mad clown like Short Bus.
If I had to come up with a name for what you are, or what you do as it relates to the topic at hand, I'd have to say that you're something like one of Synanon's Imperial Marines. You can read up on that here. And I think that you should.
