    @Finngal

    Which brings me to the conclusion that you are, perhaps, not what you declare yourself to be....

      I agree, Nick, the problem is that some people come onto a Forum and act like there are no rules and will then proceed, as we have seen in the not so distance past, to post to their own amusement not caring the effects of those posts.

      The above, Nick, is exactly what it says "Advice" and it is not a diktat. I'm merely trying to alert folks to the fact that, unintentionally, they could be posting offensively and, yes, somebody somewhere is going to be offended, but at least let's try to minimalise that

            Think she may genuinely be a psychoanalyst as she also declares herself to be one on her blog. Lives here and I think the slightly clumsy English is simply due to originally being from Finland. :dunno: Probably much better than my Finnish! :heehee:

            But, not I suspect, Nick, the kind of "mindful" advice that she gives to her purported Clients. Plus the jeering at being questioned as to Finngals illogical views about zero interest and adjectives like psycho rants and raves.....not very mindful. I suspect Finngals English is probably better than yours or mine:dunno::heehee:

              Just because you declare yourself on a blog is that necessary true...no, only if you wish to believe everything that is out there these day's as factual...Us normal people need to know that there is a great deal of falsehood going on....I am a magician and can play tricks that fools you but in real that is just a trick.....maybe a bit heavy, but just saying just because it is written does not make it true....

                As I said earlier this Thread should now return to it's original theme and not let it protract into a wrangle.

                  I feel now that I should comment. Firstly my apologies to my friend, Cindy,'The plant Assissin. Simply browsing past threads. I came upon this one. For whatever reason. It stepped out at me. I posted a comment.

                  As far as I understand it. Forums offer the chance of individuals to, OK, have their say. At times. Elements of banter creep in. Sadly some contributors get on their high horses and, turn a discussion into a raging argument. As far as I know. I have never argued on this form. I respect each ones comments, on whatever subject.

                  IMHO. I think it's time to put this thread to bed. Mental illness remains a problem, and sadly it will remain. Thank you all for your comments and input.
