I'm kind of two people sharing the same body. A division of mind, two personalities with some shared memories.
I read some posts in this community & go "Yes... that sounds familiar. I'm glad I'm not alone."
I read some posts and go "Riiight... nutter, nut-ter. Notjob"
This place occasionally makes me feel sane because I read things from literate inteligent people who just happen to be sharing a body with others. Occasionally it makes me feel sane because I read posts and realise that I'm a healty sane multiple, not insane like the poster.
I'll not single out any individuals (forgive the pun) but the nut-job posts I read usually ... heck. I'm not going to give examples. I think you know which ones I'm refering to.

Date: 2005-08-25 05:05 am (UTC)Anyway, going back to the thread at hand, I maintain that in certain contexts, it's it's own form of bs. Don't get me wrong, draw boundaries all you want. I don't feel a need to follow them, I've got my own to worry about. The problem I have is that, on occasion, I notice people using it as a distraction from their own issues. That can cause it's own problems for the system in question if that attidude and behavior becomes habit.
