This is rather sad, I think, that someone should back down because the tone
of the communication drops to a level which seems to threaten, in some way.
There is a certain pernisciousness which feeds upon itself and attatches
itself to human thetans which are starved of recognition. I believe that's
what its all about.. The tremendous defensiveness and fear of making mistakes
and wishing to show you are respected by another group and thus get accepted
by this group.
Life is indeed short but its gratifying, in a way, that the
competitors think enough of each other to continue the contest(?)
I can speak with some authority on these matters because I
have been told by others, whos opinions I respect greatly, that I am a great
psychiatrist whos opinions should be respected. I am, therefore, truly
innocent of all self conceit and dont mind being thought deeply naive as its
the best feeling I can arrange for myself. IF I CAN BELIEVE THAT, I CAN
BELIEVE ANYTHING..........and do so if it suits me. But, for Gord's
sake..........................

been mine.
