Where's the lie, Bruce? Did you or did you not recently mention
that well-known mental health facility in California as if it was
still open and treating patients when it is a well-known fact
that it has been closed for about 7 years?

Bruce, why not just admit that you made an embarrassing mistake,
tell us some convenient lie justifying it, and move on?

This is Krueger's idea of victory: a half-baked gotcha.

The victory is in watching Richman treat the situation so
illoigically.

It makes one wonder exactly how active Richman is in his claimed
profession. BTW, has he ever admitted exactly what he does/did for
a living?

And the heaping-on follow-through!

And what you do, isn;'t?

IKYABWAI

The shoe fits, whether you thnk it does or not.

And, no.

And yes. But thanks for another demonstration of your consummate
self-righteousness.

Perhaps Florida native Dr. Richman
doesn't need to keep up with California facilities.

That is in its way obvious. However, if he wants to make credible
comments about them in public, it seems like a little keeping up
seems to be in order. Remember, this was the shut down of a fairly
major facility with national exposure. And, it happened during a
time frame when Rchman as pushing his mental-health expertise on RAO.

Gotcha!

Yes, I got Richman.

Right? But hardly an important measure of mental-health
expertise.

Look, he's the one that decided to comment on that facility. It speaks to
the difference between what he thinks he knows and what he actually knows.

One might also quibble with your description of "well-known".
Aside from Atascadero ( as in the "Terminator" film) and Betty
Ford, what California mental health facility could be called that?

I'll leave that to people who are in the business, particularly
those who would publicly claim that they are making informed
comments about the faciliity in question.

You are not leaving it to people who are in the business,

In this case I was observing the obvious. The closure of this facility made
it into a lot of general readership publications.

you are judging what constitutes "well-known" and to whom.

If its widely enough known, in enough general-readership publications, then
its within my area of modest expertise to call it "well known".

I'm surprised that you are so well-informed about CA mental health
facilities.

In this case it all started with Richman's comment. It probably triggered a
vague recollection of something I had read in the past about this place
closing down, such as a headline in a newspaper.

What Richman did is roughly anologous to me not knowing that
International Jensen went bankrupt some years ago, and talking about
their *recently released* products.

No, it would be roughly analogous to you making an off-hand remark
concerning what the International Jensen people might think about a
general topic.

Same diff.

Are you lonely Stephen? Why the spirited defense of this bad-tempered old
hack, Richman? Oh, I forgot, you're still trying to get even with me.

LOL!
