My con.report is available on the web at my personal site
(http://www.clock.org/~jss/motss/con22.html), so I won't
repost it in bulk here. Go read if you want; don't if you
don't.

Looks like you spent most of your time eating. I can think of a lot
more interesting things to do in pdx.

David, we get together to see and talk to each other. We spent a lot
of time outdoors taking advantage of the perfect weather, and then yes
we lingered over our meals to enjoy each other's company. If you have
other ideas of what would be a good time, please do invite your
friends to join you doing it. We all enjoyed ourselves immensely.

I'm reminded of Tourette syndrome, but without the obscene language.

you know, I think Ciaran has a useful angle on this, Tourettes-minus-
foul-language. There's a remarkable deafness to socially appropriate
things to say. so the inappropriate stuff just pops out. no apparent
idea of the impact on others, or group norms of simple politeness. I
used to think it was trollish, and I spoze it is (as well as DWF's
diagnosis), but it does have parallels to other syndromes.

My sole intention was to scold David Kaye in a slightly humorous way.
Any resemblence of my scolding to real psychological diagnoses,
whether living or dead, was purely coincidental.

I just remembered a doctored photograph that a friend emailed me a
few years ago. The photograph showed an office block-style building
(perhaps a corporate HQ) with large letters on it that stated:

TOURETTE'S RESEARCH
INSTITUTE
YOU FUCKING CUNT

Regards,
Ciaran.
