It's not good to ridicule someone's intelligence. That wasn't what I intended to do even if it came across that way. I was addressing the priorities, given our ex-member sensibilities on this board, that Jeb should be dealing with the bad effects of TF on himself rather than trying to get us to rejoin the cult that screwed it up for so many just like him.

It really pushes my buttons when people post under multiple names in a split personalitied way. I don't just mean when someone plays the devil's advocate, but when someone goes away and comes back under a different name insisting they have a whole different view about TF, and when confronted, lies about it.

Perhaps some of us, more than others, need to try out different ideas. There are people who do that and simply explain that's what they were doing. Then there are others who start lying, and try to play stupid and insist they are the person they put the the whole charade on to be. Then you put together everything they ever wrote about themselves and the emails they write as these different people they pretend to be, and you get nothing short of a pathological liar. Remember the English person who did that?

Well I'm not saying this poster is that extreme, yet, but he isn't that innocent either. There can be misunderstandings too, and that's happened to me, and it was a mess to explain myself when that happened. So I try to give people some room and the benefit of the doubt, and let them play it out a bit. But I felt it was time to put a stop to it now, when he started with provocative posts only to tell people to go kill themselves or "go cry somewhere else."
