»Thomas Szasz is an idiot«







Francesca Allan:
I have no doubt that the kind of behaviour that you display here -- your paranoia, your offensiveness, your rage -- are "schizophrenic" in origin.

I have to disagree here. The origin is unknown and whether it's schizophrenic or not is also doubtful.
Moreover far-diagnosis sucks.

lol, no psychiatrist worth a damn in the world would attempt to make a diagnosis of symptoms like you did here without ever meeting the person being diagnosed

Whether a psychiatrist is "worth a damn" doesn't matter when he sends out his white helpers to get you.

That's why psychiatry is dangerous. Maybe the good psychiatrists won't far-diagnose, but the bad ones will.

On the contrary, Gandhi would have been horrified to see the level of your hatred.

Why should Gandhi be the judge? Maybe he "would have been horrified to see the level of your hatred" because he was mentally ill and not able to face reality?

I hate to say it, but "Gandhi would X" and "Caesar would Y" is all far-diagnosis.

Looks like I touched a nerve again. Temper tantrum incoming.

I misspoke. And I wouldn't presume to diagnose anybody. But, for what it's worth, Holy does exhibit signs of paranoia, for lack of a better word. Didn't he flounce off the forum due to dangerous "cult activity" by MindFreedomBC? Didn't he accuse me of being more than one poster when in fact he posts under several tags? I won't be addressing his posts anymore. I really think he's incapable of intelligent debate on this subject.

I only mentioned Gandhi because Holy had compared Szasz unfavourably to Gandhi. I agree that diagnosis (in the psychiatric sense) is impossible long-distance. In fact, I believe it's impossible face to face. However, looking at a person's actions and assessing his or her point of view is unavoidable. Otherwise, nobody could comment on anyone that they didn't know personally and observe.

You don't know that my quitting the site temporarily had anything to do with paranoia, Francesca. I could have had diarrhea and needed to go sit on the toilet for a few days for all you know! And I can accuse you of anything I want, including being an al Qaeda operative (you definitely are), and there's absolutely no evidence that it has anything to do with paranoia!

Good! I've had enough of your empty threats and propaganda. If you can't take the heat, stay out of the kitchen. White laugh
