You might want to speak with your local Methodist minister about this. I hear there are some excellent ones on the Duke campus. If not, I know a couple that graduated from there they would love to help you. Just let me know.

Bart,
I was ready and willing to take you up on your dare and admit that I'd overreacted. It's certainly clear to me looking at the words in one of BKBRef's early posts that they might not have merited such a strong response. I think if they'd come from anybody else on the board, they would not have drawn the one that they did. Then I read the above quote in one of his later posts and realized why I responded the way I did. He's a presumptuous, officious, arrogant, ***. He reads a handful of posts of mine and thinks he knows me well enough to not only a) diagnose me with a psychological problem, but also b)recommend particularized counseling?

Ok, here's my only contribution to the quarrel. JB, do you really honestly believe that TH was trying to diagnose you with a psychological problem? Really? Do you really honestly believe that he is offering to put you in contact with a Methodist minister?
TH is not being arrogant, or presumptuous or whatever. He's yanking your chain. He's being sarcastic about the Methodists b/c you're at Duke. He's poking a little fun b/c of the lengthy replies you've posted in this thread. And you fell for it, providing exactly the kind of answer that you say you don't want to give. And proving whatever point TH may have wanted to make about being thin-skinned.
Just say "Hardy-har-har, you are sooooooooooo funny, BKBRef. You gunkie!" Or you could say that his mom wears combat boots.
It'll save you a lot of typing too.
