Krausie hasn't aged well, sad to say. 12-14 years ago you could have a
reasonable discussion and although not in agreement, it was accomplished
without any mean spiritedness from either side, even with a few friendly
zingers thrown in once in a while.

He's slowly evolved into a crotchety, narrow minded old man. Whatever
existed as a sense of humor is long lost. Seen it many times as others
age. Lacking patience to respectfully debate or display any respect for
others, the typical response now is a personal insult or other demeaning
statement if you don't agree with or bow down to him.

Cracks me up. Predictable, but sad to see.

I sort of trace the start of his decline to Skipper's demise. Skipper
used to keep Harry constantly on the defensive with his wit and cheap
shots, and people could almost empathize with Harry because of it.
Once that situation was gone, Harry's inherent hostility had to change
from Skipper, Bayliners and Derby, Kansas and find new outlets.

Of course we are making a mistake having a public discussion about it
because Harry's ego feeds on all attention, even the negative. Better
to let his low self esteem go right out the low transom.

While it's very true that negative attention seekers act in this
manner, I prefer to think of it as a giant intervention. Perhaps when
he gets hammered enough, it will leak through and he'll seek the
obvious help he so desperately needs.

We should be showing compassion and understanding for an obviously
very sick individual and provide counseling for him to access when he
has these fits of instability.

Know any good psychiatrists that will work for non-Union wages?

Oh - damn it - did it again.

I'm sorry - I said I wouldn't but I did. I can't help it - I'm very
concerned for a fellow human being in obvious distress.

Surely there are mental health practitioners in your part of the state
who can help with your obvious distress. Don't you have health
insurance? I'm sure you have some sort of coverage.

BTW, most (but not all) psychiatrists aren't really in the "therapy"
business anymore. They do initial interviews, arrange various medical
tests, prescribe and adjust meds, and consult with therapists in their
group or with outside therapists. Most psychotherapy these days is
provided by licensed psychiatric social workers, licensed mental health
counselors and, to a lesser degree, licensed psychologists.

You seem to be aware of the latest happenings in the shrink business.
Are you in therapy now?

How very genuine of you.

I'm sure everyone will remember this when you offer another of your
apologies to the group for going off the deep end.

Mirror please!!!
