Will all those with high degrees and impressive credentials who have
nothing more to say but that those of BRAD are idiots, please post here.
I may otherwise have to gather up the appropriate responses all by
themselves into a whole new stem.
Also please place all other inappropriate posts, including all false
OR unfounded claims and false accusations here as well.
Also those without the lofty degrees and/or credentials feel free to
rant or vent here.
I shall now list examples of the ypes of posts I mean:

From Dan Rogers, Ph.D we had:

This is just getting silly. I can't believe that anyone would be
talking about the
so-called 'Carkhuff scales' this way. I am now convinced that you are
not trained or
experienced as a therapist and that you certainly don't have any
familiarity with the
research literature. Gad!! And a 'supplemental scoring system for the
CPI' to select
potential peer counselors? Oh, man! you have got to be kidding?

I suspect you meant to post this to alt.aliens.spandex or some similar
group.

[snip]

If indeed you teach counseling, you show either a lack of familiarity
with a huge part
of relevant literature. Or, you don't teach in an accredited program.
You did not
post from any educational institution, so I suspect that you define
teaching in your
own way.

You also need to know the difference between counseling and
psychotherapy.

I really wouldn't have responded to your post at all, except that you
are promoting a
very fuzzy sort of thinking that needs to be stopped. You are simply
wrong.

Dan, Thank you...
I enjoy reading your post enourmosly. I think we all answered to Brad
once before
realizing the waste of time it is. He has been posting his ignorance in
this
group for months. I wouldn't worry about him if I were you. Just ignore
him -
like the rest of us.

I'll be quite clear. I think that Brad is an idiot. I have tried to
give him the time of day. I have tried to argue rationally. I have read
his disjointed and strange postings and have concluded that he is
simply and idiot.

Yeah, it is unfortunate that the responses have deteriorated to the
level
of analysis that I have seen. It appears that BRAD is a "brain stem".

My dear Brad,
Sure. Alot of these response are not very empathic.
But be fair about this: have you made an earnest effort to look
into *our* hearts, the better to communicate with us?
I think I can speak for about all of us, Brad. We'd all be happy
to talk with you if you'd let your hair down, tell us who you really are,
and give us the feeling that you are listening to us and want to
communicate with us on an equality basis.
Certainly, I feel that way:)
I don't *like* thinking of you as a mosquito, Brad. I'd rather
think of you as a fellow sojourner in life, as a possible friend.
Would you like that too?

best always,
Mike

David Scout has said:

"`Anyone replying to BRAD hasn't learned from experience. We had a
little
peace and reasoned discussion while he found a new server who hasn't yet
been complained to about his incessant rambling diatribes and
harassment.
Please don't feed the monster and maybe, like his idol, Nixon, he will
fade away and die."

Dear David Scout (david...@aol.com),
You may like to think that attempts at petty complaint have limited
my access to speak and have resulted in trouble with servers. I would
like you to know that this is not the case. Any totally unwarranted
and unjustified Hitlerian attempts to limit my freedom just because
people do not like what I say have been few and have had NO EFFECT. I,
in fact, have received few complaints from anyone and none from internet
access providers. I just change servers to keep you all guessing and
to defeat the kill files of the closed-minded. I would not want other
readers to think they can be stiffled by raw unjustified hostility
against their freedom, so am posting this note. -- B J
