Judy, I haven't replied to your post yet because I read it once and when I returned to it the next day it was gone because for some reason I only can keep a certain number of post in my mail box. Your original argument was ridiculous when you claimed that I had violated some sort of confidentiality with Richard and could only say what I did if I had his informed consent. You embarassed yourself with such an absurd argument because you obviously do not understand the nature of a confidential relationship, who holds the priviledge of confidentiality and what informed consent is. If you do understand these terms then your usually sharp intellect was clouded by your emotions. Your second argument, however, does have some merit IMHO. It refers to behavior by psychologists in a non-professional context where some people could attribute more authority to their words or behaviors because they know they are a psychologist. The APA struggles with this one to. In this instance with Richard I basically was calling him crazy using rhetorical excess based upon my knowledge of psychological disorders and medications to treat those disorders. The intent of this was a clever insult. Some of you took this way too seriously and assumed I was seriously diagnosing Richard and then revealing some sort of confidence in asking him to return to a specific anti-psychotic medication. It was a joke. Abuse of power? I could see how it could be taken this way. But it seems that Richard as well as many other got my intent. Others misunderstood it and I understand why they did.
