You seem to forget that the possessor of a "truth", any "truth" whether
perceived or
absolute, has an obligation to use that "truth" wisely.
Some time ago your behaviour, in this forum and others, was absolutely and undeniably unbalanced. That was the view of
everyone who observed that behaviour
except yourself. I refrained from saying so then, either publicly or privately, because I believed that to do so would have been hurtful to you. I encouraged others to remain silent, too. You were ill then, and you needed support not condemnation. Should I have spoken the "truth" to you then, or should I have remained silent?
By your own admission you are not ill now, so there is no excuse for your treatment of others. Jim, it is my view that you use the "truth", at least as
you perceive it, like a switchblade to lay open the belly of your "enemies" - whether
real and
imagined. That is "treating people badly".
"How sharper than a serpent's tooth it is to have a thankless..."
This is the last I will have to say to you on the subject.
