Name,

I used to think that I could use this board to show off my knowledge and such. But at some point, I realized that what I really wanted from PB is not the attention, but rather the interpersonal connections. I wanted be accepted into the PB community. To do that, I had to learn to put down my emotions and feelings in their naked form; and not hide behind the intellectual/acadmic style of reasoning. I can play that game anywhere in school, but here on PB, I have the golden opportunity to connect in a more personal way. I haven't really figured out how to do that...I think just lurking around and reading other people's exchanges and really care about their exchanges helps me to becomeing more humble, more softened, and a better person all-around.

If you want to continue to go on this warpath till Dr. Bob kicks you off once again, then not only will you lose a golden opportunity to better yourself and to satisify your wishes and desires to connect (I realize that I am being biased by my own perception and situation, here). But, I can image it makes hurt you pretty bad inside to spend hours constructing the posts just to have it thrown back at you; or to be received in such a negative way. I think to make mistakes and to try out new approaches is human. But to continue to make the exact same mistakes and to be stubborn is stupid and not very healthy to you or to the others on this board. This is not an academic medium in which people argue the legality and theories of life. There is numerous journals and conferences that you can engage yourself in for that.

I mean do you think that your posts help you in the long run? Do you actually feel better today than when you did the first time that you posted? Only you can answer that.

I know this is going to provoke you, but I am going to kindly ask you not to respond to this post at all...rather think and reflect upon it.
