> Dr. Bob, thanks for posting this. I agree. If we are all supportive of one another we will not need deputies as much.
Angela2,
You wrote,[...supportive of one another...].
I am unsure of what your conception ofwhat constitutes support could be. If you could examine the following hypothetical discussion and then answer the following after that, then I could respond accordingly.
In this hypothetical example we have the fictional members Helen Weilz, Seymore Hienz and a new member,Ivan Skidyvan. Here is the discussion:Ivan Skidyvan:
I am under the conviction now that all of these disorders are a result of environmental issues like Pavlov wrote about.Helen Weilz:
Ivan, I think these disorders are a result of environmental issues.
Seymore Heinz:
Ya know Ivan and Helen, I think there could be other possibilities behind these issues.If you could answer the following, then I could have a better understanding of your conception of what constitutes support.
A. If you posted your opinion in a post in that hypothetical thread and you wanted it to be supportive, what could you post?
B. In such a post, could there be reinforcement to one side and if so, could then reinforcement be the same in your opinion as support?
C. If not, what in your opinion could be the differentiating criteria between support and reinforcement?
D. other aspects not stated
Lou
