I think his cerebral cortex is shrinking rapidly.
It happens, really.
Aside from sociopathy, it's the only thing I can think of.

Please don't post anything that could lead others (including me) to feel put down.
But please don't take this personally, either, this doesn't mean I don't like you or think you're a bad person, and I'm sorry if this hurts you.
More information about posting policies and tips on alternative ways to express yourself, including a link to a nice post by Dinah on I-statements, are in the FAQ:

http://www.dr-bob.org/babble/faq.html#enforceFollow-ups regarding these issues, as well as replies to the above post, should of course themselves be civil.
Thanks,
Bob

You wrote,[...please don't post anything that could lead others (including me) to feel put down...].
To feel put down, I would say that something is directed to someone that has the potential to lower the worth or degrade a person.
In examinig the statement directed toward you by the poster here, I find it to be a literary form of expression called a {hyperbole). A hyperbole has the aspect that it is way beyond anything that could be taken as fact. For instance, if someone said that so and so had two heads, could that be taken as a fact by the person and have the potential for so and so to feel put down?
Now in [Fallwell vs Flint], the U.S. High court made that very clear and dismissed Fallwell's suit for defamation. Now since you cite the high court here in your TOS, could not that decision take precedence also in relation to what constitutes something that could lead someone to feel put down?
In hyperbole, that literary form can also be complimentary because it can show that what is stated is impossible and thearfore could not be something that could lead a person to feel put down.
In the poster's remarks, no mention of a CAT scan was made. Thearfore, I do not see it credible that a measurment in question was made.

Sometimes civility is relative, and considering
what I wanted to say, I was quite civil actually.It would have had no point anyway. At this point it's all redundant.

I miss our talks, except sometimes it makes me sad because it reminds me of when I was happy.
I bet there's no one on this site who doesn't understand that, unlike most of the people I know
IRL
Happy Soltice to you Jai
and email or babblemail me any time.
