Because he uses psychological jargon here.

Yes, but unlike Krueger, McKelvy and Lionel, I'm qualiried to use it
and know what the terms really mean. Krueger, McKelvy and Lionel have
frequently called people delusional, insane, demented, senile, etc.
They have never given any evidence that they have any qualifications
that even remotely suggest that they know what they are talking about
when they use these terms.

OTOH, if and when *you* use those words, are we to assume that since
you're qualified to use them in real life because you are a licensed
psychologist, you are able to derive such conclusions based solely on
someone's usenet posts? And that they are more valid than when another
person uses the same terms?

I don't know if my assumption that you're posting here as just another
person is correct then.

Either you post here as Bruce Richman, a private person, or you post
here as Dr. Bruce Richman, Licensed Psychologist.

I get the feeling I'm missing something here, or I just stepped into a
hornet's nest............
