I call 'em as I see 'em, Tim. Actually, I would probably call what I said there an "amateur psychological diagnosis". :-). Your mileage may vary. That's what I get for indulging in the pseudoscience of psychology, I suppose.
Speaking of which...
Tim, like many, rationalizes his simmering anger by blaming it all on the "bastids in the gubmit". But it doesn't take much insight to see that there is something a little deeper going on, something a little sad. [...]
Since Dr. Crispin, like old Doc Hettinga, is making claims of being able to recognize the subtle nuances of the psychological states of other list members (patient May, in particular), I wonder if Kent is equally adept at spotting the subtle psychological inferences in a previous post. ~~~ I agree with Tim (whether he said yet it, or not) that the 'feared' is quickly becoming the 'undeniable.' The speed and volume of the 'openly blatant' lies and increasingly recognizable 'hidden agendas' is reaching a point where I am tempted to show my Crayola Conspiracy Charts (TM) to the normal folks down at the bar and see if they finally start nodding their heads, instead of laughing riotously. It's damn near like a good horror movie, where the nice people are all still laughing and drinking champagne, but the darkly disturbing cello sounds in the background are being emmitted with increasing frequency, like the growing birth pains of the bewildered lady who is about to give birth to the CypherPunk From Hell.
