Wow, assuming states of mind much. :-) No-one is mad at you; it was just to point out that what you intended as an insult to the psychiatrist was really an insult to mentally disabled people.
IMO people who act like Dr. C DO have mental problems. I think that goes beyond being 'stupid'.
I see your point; we've certainly met some "professionals" whose mental health seemed... highly compromised. It's as if being a psychiatrist puts one at risk for a special type of mental problem (http://isnt.autistics.org/dsn-psy.html). At the same time, there remains a factor of responsibility; unless "voices" cause serious problems, Dr. C. ought to know better than to want to lock someone up for having them. That's what I meant by "stupid".
