I understand that, GG. If you'd been around a few soldiers, you might recognize emotional intensity as something other than a meltdown. I believe much mental illness resides in emotional repression, and as a result we tend to see symbolic action as illness. But civil disobedience is a well-developed form of warfare, and expresses in a variety of forms, ranging from complete passive resistance to active sabotage. My actions here are somewhere between that. I'm just ridiciuling the civility guidelines because they are such a farsical mask for a doctor whose abuse is exceeding his benefit and because I see such sustained illness and abuse among people working with his blessing.You've been consistently sweet and supportive of me, but always maintained your own person with no need to find power by being on my side, and i appreciate that.
We are involved in a massive and lengthy World War, and neither of the players now on the field can be allowed to win. The issues go far beyond this forum, titled so as to abuse the integrity of members. I didn't start thinking these things when I realized Chrusher has sprung a trap Hsiung-the-pusher provides his minions. I simply avoided exposing parts of my understanding while I was working on other matters -- matters in which Hsiung will likely reveal his unrepentant bigotry, as if he has not already by ignoring my contribution, now for several days and previously for two weeks before he admitted the obvious. What you see today is nothing but another insignificant firefight at an arbitrary checkpoint.
It's going to be a long row to hoe and we are going to need to learn to work with several forms of confrontation to prosecute a long World War for justice without contributing to the bloodshed. I've been training as a soldier for a long time, and am well prepared for this.Thanks, be well, and please do what you can to help assure neither capitalists nor thier deluded victims prevail in the current war - even if all you can do is hand out mental bandages to the wounded. If you want to support me further, educate yourself, read views you don't agree with, and fight other people's battles.
