Matt,

I fear that you did not read the post very carefully again.

>>Well Matt,
>>
>>First of all, if you read carefully you will find that I made no 
>>"assumptions", "inferences", nor accusations about Donovan's off V 2020 
>>behavior with respect to his care recipients.
>>
>>1.    I made some observations about Donovan's V 2020 behavior, with which 
>>so far no one has disagreed with, in fact all seemed to have agreed.
>>
>>2.    I made no allegations, I merely made what I thought might be a 
>>reasonable suggestion about an inquiry given the facts available.
>>
>>3.    I see nothing in the post you criticize that might be interpreted as 
>>"trying to silence" Donovan;  "trying to get him to think about the effect 
>>of his postings on others and possibly change it", yes.
>>
>>4.    Keely, Andreas, you, and I am sure, others did not agree with my 
>>approach.
>>
>>First, I would like to say that if anyone were to suggest that on the 
>>basis of the various natures of my V 2020 postings, that I'd be an unfit 
>>caretaker, they would be absolutely right!  I have neither the patience 
>>nor the skill set to succeed at such a position.  The only care position 
>>at which I have been reasonably effective is as a pet owner.
>>
>>Second, unfortunately, many years ago due to a serious accident my elderly 
>>mother was placed in a care facility, where much to our horror after a few 
>>days, we discovered that she was being mentally and physically abused.  We 
>>only discovered this by observing certain behaviors on her part and then 
>>carefully questioning her out of the earshot of her caretakers.  We moved 
>>her immediately.
>>
>>Looking back at those very haunting times my suffering, almost totally 
>>helpless mother must have experienced, I can see that I should have become 
>>wiser about the abuse much sooner based on the temperament of one of the 
>>caregivers whose personality sometimes resembled that which Donovan 
>>exhibits on V 2020.
>>
>>Since the time of my mother's ordeal, I have learned a great deal about 
>>organizational abuse in care facilities.  One of the horrific things I 
>>learned is the disinclination to discharge known abusers since finding 
>>people to fill those positions is very difficult.
>>
>>Unlike apparently yourself, Keely and Andreas, my life's experiences have 
>>led me to believe that a person's behavior in one arena is often, but not 
>>always, an indication of how they behave in other arenas.  Other believe 
>>the same:  That is why comprehensive background checks are ran on 
>>individuals applying for certain kinds of jobs.
>>
>>.  He may be the cat's pajamas.  I have had only one interaction with him 
>>in person of any length and his behavior during that interaction was 
>>similar to that which he exhibits on V 2020.  However, I believe in erring 
>>on the safe side when a question arises about possible harm to be people 
>>who not able to care for themselves.  That is one of the reasons I made 
>>the inquiry suggestion so that someone with standing in a position to act, 
>>would.  The other reason is explained above.
>>
>>If these reasons offend anyone, then I will just have to accept that as 
>>part of the nature of the world.
