Um, I didn't know I needed one to express an opinion about a
subject matter that has nothing to do with psychology.

Oh, gosh, I am so sorry!  I didn't know!!  I was under a
mistaken impression that I lived in America, where thoughts
and beliefs are free.  I didn't know I lived in
"Ken-Decides-What-You-Can-Believe-Land".  Forgive me, my Lord.

Yes, I'm afraid anyone does, if you mean to give an opinion.

I didn't compromise anyone's beliefs.  I stated my own.

Mucho histrionics deleted...

Yeah yeah, what it boils down to is that you disagree with me.
So what?  That's what makes the world go around.  I didn;t say
anyone's feelings were bad or wrong.  I said I found the
writing style to be goofy, and the attitude to be
sychophantic.  I did, I do, I said so.  My prerogative, as it
is yours to disagree.  However, it's not enough to disagree,
you seem to be saying I shouldn't have my opinion or belief.
Sorry, Ken, no can do.

I most certainly can and do share my fellings.  I didn't snap
at anybody.  I stated an opinion that I was reminded about
when the Kate/Catherine thing was recently mentioned again.
Your righteous indignation would most certainly be better
spent at some sort of real injustice in this world, as opposed
to people who don't share your every view.
I think humans are about individuality and variety. So what's
YOUR problem?

That you even would make such an issue of essentially an
informal signoff shows you very badly need to take up a hobby
 _other_ than trying to curtail the civil liberties of others.

No feelings are wrong.  His or mine or anyone's, as long as
they are saying how they feel.  But they are also subject to
the reactions and opinions of others, especially in a forum
such as this.

My my my, how difficult it is for some folks to deal with a
divergent viewpoint!

See ya'll later.  By the by, due to my post/receiving
circumstances, I may be a day or two behind, as I don't have
access all weekend. Slowly but surely, I'm plodding thru and
catching up.   So, I still hope you'll neuter your pets. :-)
