Jesus Judy, relax, will you! I was making a crack regarding Richard. I was not doing so in any professional capacity. How is this unethical? Nasty? Yes. He got me bothered with his inane post about Muktananda and Marshy. I only know Richard from his unusual posts. I don't know if he's psychotic or not. Also "psychosis" is not a diagnosis, but a general term for a collection of symptoms. I can't formally diagnose Richard. I don't know if Richard is on any medication or not. I mentioned Seroquel because its a mild antipsychotic. That was the point of the post. It was a way of saying, "You're crazy, dude." I can't figure out, and I'm not going to try to hard, why you have worked your self up into quite a lather over this. I don't post on this board in any professional capacity at all.
