To delete someone because they make me angry or seem to disagree with what I think is reality is not the way I can go. I say just don't read him for no one is forcing anyone to (though the left would love to). The kicker of course is it's Stuart's blog and he can do whatever he likes and there cannot be an argument with that. I defend AO's commenting for my own sake.

This will require him to create a voice elsewhere and compel him to resume his expression on his own blog. This is in his best interest. Perhaps HAd Enough Therapy is now a psychological crutch for AO, where he criticizes, but doesn't create. Perhaps you, Dr. Schneiderman, can offer the most humane, generous therapy possible, in requiring him to resume his blog and recreate his own persona and dignity. Perhaps censorship is the beneficent approach here.

The essence of the problem is his voluminous commentaries that arrive at nothing, save the obvious. His blog is defunct, and desperately needs his renewed attention. I pray each day he will find time for it, resulting in less time blathering and bloviating here. He had a blog no one read, and now seeks to drag down the content of another blogger people actually want to read. Several excellent regular commenters seem to have exited, and this is unfortunate. It's not beyond imagiginatiom that they had better things to do than endlessly scroll through AO's comments to find others worthy of consideration.

If a person doesn't agree or finds the comments of another tedious just don't read them (my friends say this is a very effective procedure when they receive anything from me). I rarely agree with AO, but on occasion I think he's right and I would have missed that fact.

If the therapy culture doesn't even bring this to the table, how can one "help" others? Help being defined as being able to objectively see the problem and hopefully assist the patient in discerning their problems. And perhaps even offer a solution/advice. For example I knew a fairly well to do man, who was going to steal wooden stir sticks from Starbucks because his girlfriend asked him to do so (to use them in the garden.) I was so taken aback I kind of scoffed and offered to buy them. His response “I’ll just tell her I forgot.” To me this is a clear sign of weak character. Not that I can tell him. Point being objective knowledge passed on by a therapist, or whomever, can be dangerous because that would require an individual to do something about their situation. And that doesn’t make people feel good. I wonder what segment of the population goes and sees therapists. Single women and men from broken families? If they struggle with making life choices and seeking validation from a therapist, I can't say that's a good sign. Shaun Fhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17425084501514329529noreply@blogger.com
