<br>Andreas et. al.<br><br>Why make a personalized derogatory attack on Wayne, when responding to content I authored to engage Chas in discussion on Wilson's interview? Wayne's mental health was not specifically a part of that discussion in that post, nor do I think it relevant to the general discussion of Wilson's interview, nor do I think that you are qualified to make an assessment regarding Wayne's mental health on a public list serve, or privately, for that matter.
<br><br>I'd rather not have my Vision2020 post content linked with a declaration that someone is a "nut job," regardless of their mental health or the lack thereof. I'd rather not read any Vision2020 posts that declare anyone to be a "nut job," regardless of what behavior they are engaging in that might suggest mental illness.
<br><br>If you don't have the presence of mind to first check whether you are sending a private or list serve message before calling someone a "nut job" in an e-mail, an insulting and potentially very hurtful and demeaning statement, that in an ideal world would never be uttered, especially if aimed at someone who really does have a mental illness, you might reconsider the wisdom of your psychoanalysis of Wayne's psyche, in light of your own shortcomings.
