Rick ; Now, they're trying again of the old abusive stump using the old, 'Mental deficiency' slur.. What a silly double standard being demanded by the FFL terrorists here. 'Sign your own posts for a while'. Ha, ha, ha. What a bunch of terrorists posting anonymously. They obviously are scared that I have the case for their administrative dismissal from FFL.
Limbic, scared and recoiling such that instead of simply dealing straight ahead with the indictment of abuse and unkindness standing in their own posts made quite evident here they lash out with another barrage of a very personal Ad Hominem slur on a public forum. This is the really unkind thinking of some desperate people who seem quite attached to holding the FFL forum as their own in their own image of character.

He often can't even remember what exactly it is about a post he's replying to that made him angry enough to reply angrily, so he just trots out some old gripe from the past. This is to some extent consistent with dementia -- some long term memories remain unaffected, especially memories you've *told stories about* often, while newer short term memories don't "stick." The thing is, as you and Salyavin have pointed out, Doug/Buck seems to bristle at us trying to find some physiological or psychological explanation for his behavior, and takes offense at it as if we're trying to insult him, but *there is another option he never tries*. And the fact that he never *does* try that option reinforces our theory that there might actually be something wrong with him. All he'd have to do to refute what we're suggesting is *have a normal conversation with someone here*, one that indicates that he actually read what the other party said and is responding to it. That's what's missing. His posts are non-sequiturs, in the most literal sense. They "do not follow" from what he claims to be reacting to. It's as if he's off in his own world, throwing out thoughts that go through his head and *in* his head seem to make sense. But they don't to other people. I see that over on The_Leak a few apologists for his behavior (mainly Ann) are trotting out the olde "He's just putting everybody on and running a button-pushing Colbert number" theory. I don't buy it, because in the last few *years* I don't remember him demonstrating the ability to actually *have* a real conversation that other people could follow with *anyone*, whether he considers them "friend" or "foe." It's pretty much the same non-sequitur stuff, all the time. Bottom line for me is that I'm not convinced he *CAN* have a normal conversation. This is all Just My Opinion, of course, but it's my honest opinion. And the interesting thing is that Doug could easily prove me wrong, simply by doing what I suggest -- drop the "Buck" act for a dozen posts, during which he has a continuing, rational conversation with someone else here *or* on The_Leak. Prove me wrong, "Buck." I don't think you can. From: "anartaxius@...

I notice Buck is now reposting older material. My mother's memory declined substantially as she got into her late 80s and early 90s. She stopped initiating conversations. I would test her memory of various things, she could name people in photos etc. and never forgot me, but she did sometimes forget my sister's name. I ran into a 92-year in the supermarket a couple of years ago and he was quite a talker, had a long story about unions and troubles he had with them wanting him to be in their membership when he was younger. Later, about 15 minutes later, we ran into each other again. He did seem recognize me but told me the same story once again. So I do not know what his situation was, but he was certainly more lively than people I have seen in the Alzheimer's wards of care facilities. As he was unaccompanied in the market I assume that he was fairly clear of serious problems. Even in myself, I notice long term memories from childhood are more stable than recent ones. Meditation also seems to have an effect of less memory. If experiences do indeed make less of an impression, I would presume memories of experiences would be less imprinted in the brain. That seems to be a different effect than just ageing. I watched the movie Tarantula recently (with an uncredited part for Clint Eastwood). This came out in 1955, and I recalled the scenes in the film quite well, but now, having meditated for such a long time, I sometimes will watch a Blu-ray or DVD of a much more recent film, and by about halfway through, it finally dawns on me I saw it before within the last ten years or less, and remembered practically nothing about it. This does not seem to be dementia, as I can write original material and hold conversations without much trouble in spite of my anti-social nature. I attribute this partially to the effects of TM. ---In [email protected], <turquoiseb@...> wrote : From: "anartaxius@...

I think you prefer to ineffectually complain. Actually join in on a discussion, or stay on The Peak; those are pretty much the only options open to you here; if you simply complain or spam us nobody is interested, you are a voice crying in a wilderness of your own making. You are not exercising your intelligence, which is why some here think you do not have any. There are not many footholds here for stodgy, 19th century religion. Exactly. In all seriousness, Buck's act really does seem to contain many of the earmarks of Early Onset Alzheimer's, *including* his tendency to adopt "roles" and stay in them, so as to distance himself from the people he's talking to. People with dementia tend to do this so that the people they're talking AT don't realize that they've lost the ability to talk TO others. ---In [email protected], <dhamiltony2k5@...> wrote : Rick, I should not have to receive these kind of personal slur and attacks as ad hominem and threats from your yahoo-group.
