another fine example of juvenile Stepcultist antics.  Thanks for illustrating my point, 12 Step.

Mentally, he probably is.  That's another thing the Stepcult does---arrests the development of a healthy, adult personality.  Not only does personal growth end where Stepping begins, but regression to an infantile level is often evident in the personalities of Groupsters.  Just question the validity of some of the Stepcult doctrine and you'll you'll hear so much juvenile whining, you'll think you were in a nursery right before nappy time."

I had a very similar experience with alcohol and drug abuse. Mentally, I would imagine I'm into my twenties by now.

Thom,

I had no expectation of modifying your behavior. It not my job and I have better uses of my time.  

I only want to put on the table what I viewed as your empty technique (ridicule vs content, and an attempt to self identify yourself as representing a group concensus which is not the case) and lack of repect for others.

Now back to a focus on an learning through an open exchange ideas.

Somewhere I read, if peaple dont have points of disagreement it means they are not thinking for themselves. The processing of disagreement fosters the examination of different perspectives and a closer look on thier own positions when crafting a defense. None of this would take place without "mixing it up" in a open forum.

Great forum!

Mr./Ms. Baghead,

Thanks for the effort to clarify your purpose. I am puzzled, though, by the reasoning. Would you be so kind as to help me understand some things?

If not an expectation of modifying my behavior, what was the purpose of putting on the table what you viewed as my empty technique (ridicule vs content, and an attempt to self identify myself as representing a group concensus which is not the case) and lack of repect for others?

Also, how did you get the part about an attempt to self identify myself as representing a group concensus? What group? What concensus?

Wasn't your post, which you refer to, an example of ridicule vs content and an attempt on your part to self identify yourself as representing a group concensus and lack of repect for others as well as a diversion from the topic?

Oh, Greg, was that you with the bag on your head earlier? Is that a throwback to your huffing days, or does it have something to do with your appearance?
 :grin: keep in mind, I respond in kind.

Thom,

I called it like I saw it.  

Its really pretty simple. You can accept or reject it, whine, rage, be a victim, demand to be understood as correct, or whatever. I stand by what I said.  

Bottom line, it is no big deal and I am bored with it and done with it till I am moved to respond in that manner again. I think you got the message.  

I think I saw a Monte Python skit like this :smile:.
