Hello Shannon.

23 Sep 06 19:25, you wrote to me:

 >> You diagnosed me nevertheless and so you overstepped your authority.

I think what anyone can see is that you have run out of arguments and are
now attempting to discredit me by making the audience believe I have a
mental problem. I think you insult your audience by underestimating them:
they will see through that age old debating trick.

 ST> You attack and demand an apology for an observation?

I defend myself when I am attacked and a personal attack made under the
pretense of an observation is still a personal attack. I have every right
to demand an apology for that.

 ST> Again, your denial of the issue and demonstration of the opposite is
 ST> what has everyone laughing at you.  You are stomping your feet

I am not stamping my feet, I am merely informing you that I do not have an
anger management problem.

 ST> issues... It's really funny and sad at the same time.

What is sad is that you can find nothing better than attempting to question
my mental sanity when you have no answer to my arguments.

 >> ST>  At the very least, talk with your local clergy.

 >> Don't be an idiot. You know very well that I am an atheist.

 ST> There it is... The raging insult.
 ST> See, "most" (but not all) clergy are licensed councilors

Well, over here they are not. If you ASSumed otherwise....

Raging insult? Hardly. I was merely giving you the advice to not be an
idiot. Only an idiot sends an atheist to a clergyman. I concede that people
who adhere to the faith can obtain help and comfort from a priest, a rebbe
or a mullah, but what can they do for an atheist?  Only an idiot would
suggest that an atheist would benefit from prayer, reading paragraphs from
a holy book or whetever else the atheist does not believe in.

So now that you have been informed that I am an atheist, you would be an
idiot if you continue on this line. Just an observation...
