An open discussion about the troubled parent industry

Well... I wouldn't really know, and you must know them considerably better.  They always struck me as "good sorts," not of the more rabid proselytizing ilk.  The address is not 616 High Street, for what it's worth.

Does Hyde work?

people like ursus discredit what some people like this original poster say.

Curious choice of words, Billy.  Not quite sure I get what you mean.  Care to explain it to me?  Also not quite sure I understand how you or anyone else at Hyde, for that matter, feels it is within your realm to pass judgment as to what should or should not be discussed here, hmm?  Fornits isn't exactly an ancillary part of Hyde's Continuing Ed program.

some of you jsut come here and bitch and moan, and that doesn't do anyone any good.

One year I had an english class with Mrs Brown, Julie?..Im not sure..Stans wife....anyway, on the first class of the fall she asked us what book we read over the summer. I said I read a Vonnegut book, and thought it was pretty cool. She told me that he wasn't a real writer...and likened his work to a comic book. Ridiculed me infront of the others who said they read other books..

Ah, Mike... Who is being melodramatic here?  No one said anything about assassinations, at least not physical ones.  You have tried to apply one of the more commonly used "Informal Fallacies" in Logic:  Try to discredit an opposing viewpoint by exaggerating it.  Have you been studying presidential campaign speeches lately?

I felt that it was important that this issue was aired, for the immediate as well as preemptive concerns.  Whether you get it now, soon, later, or never, or whether anyone else does, for that matter... it's really not a whole lot of sweat off my back at this point.  Someone had to put the bell around the cat's neck, and I done did that.

The next time somebody trolls you looking for information, you might just hear that "ding ding ding" in the back of your mind and be forewarned.  You might also want to spend some time trawling through the Hyde archives here just to get some perspective on precedents in previous years.

Cheers.  No hard feelings, but it's not so academic for some of us here.

Ursus,

Hyde can identify me if they care to. No harm, bodily or otherwise, has come to me. Emil posted his e-mail address here. No harm has come to him. There are several other people who are identifiable. No harm has come to them. So you're doing a satisfactory job of discrediting your own viewpoint. Trouble is, you're discrediting this entire forum, to the extent that you dominate it. The thought likewise occurred to me that you might be Billy.

You know Mike could be correct.   This does sound a little like the trial scene from the Caine Mutiny.

"Ah, but the strawberries! That's, that's where I had them. They laughed at me and made jokes, but I proved beyond the shadow of a doubt, and with, with geometric logic, that, that a duplicate key to the wardroom icebox did exist."

Are you saying that it is hard to listen to Ursus, pleading his case against Billy yet again, without the image of Captain Queeg in The Caine Mutiny coming to mind? Are you particularly referring to the courtroom scene in which the deranged, obsessed, and ultimately pathetic captain takes the witness stand and raves about duplicate icebox keys, missing strawberries, and how his entire crew plotted against him? Isn't that a little harsh?

Mike
