:rant: I have referred eGriz to a friend of mine, a Psychological professional, just to see what conclusions he/she may form after reading the last year's, or so, worth of posts. This is not a professional referral, so no grand pronouncements will be forthcoming. No time frame involved, just free time reading, and a 'get back to me when you're finished' admonition.
This should be interesting.
The recent level of interaction between just a couple handfuls of posters prompted this action. One can disagree with a posters claims/opinions without the childish name calling, and other assorted maladjusted reactions on display here.
Yes, this post is like Charles Dickens' Ghost of Christmas Past, chains and all. The 'discussion' on eGriz has not seen this depth since the pre-maroonblood days. Those days had posters who were not afraid to tell it like it is, as they saw it, and were knowledgable. Those posters would take a post and beat the poster to death with it. They would point out the factual errors/misrepresentations the offending poster stated, and provide facts to destroy them. No need for juvenile antics.
I'm sure many of you have raised, or are raising young teenagers. Would you want them to read your petty posts. Would you stand up, proudly, and point to your self and say, 'Yeah, I wrote that. Your (mom or dad, grandpa or grandma)wrote that!' ???
I end this note on your level, in terms you would understand....Growthef*ckup!
