I'm reminded a line out of the movie Pirates of the Caribbean, "Do you think the captain's been acting strang....er?" Sometime the Cellar as strange as it can be sometimes throws a curve ball out of left field and gets a little strang..er.

I didn't feel confident enough to say that straight off though it had crossed my mind hence the 'off his meds' reference.

I hope all his personalities timeshare on the same IP, would make life so much easier on the admins/mods.
there's no point in them banning him/them if it doesn't cut down their workload

there are times it's good to be the king but other times being a vanilla citizen is pretty cool too.

Infi, I got that you were trying to be understanding.
I think all did, which is why there was confusion and breast-beating (not least on my part) about what we should do as a community about JBK, but no criticism of you. None that I read anyway, not even implied.

Thanks Glatt. I don't have to worry about my personal opinion of censorship now. O about what JBK is going to post next.

No, no criticism of you Infi, at all. It's impossible to know what's for the best in this sort of situation. Most of us were trying to do our best by him, but who knows what's actually for the best?

I hadn't spotted the stalkerish behaviour, til you pointed it out.

Infi: I just thought you were nice to Klyde. And more tolerant than some of the rest of us (I include myself in that).

I'm not glad he's banned, but I do think it was the right call.

Glatt, you have everyone's full support. I have no idea how it could have gone differently.

Thanks, Griff. :)

glatt for president. We wouldn't even have to pay relo.

Yeah, it's a tough call that no one can second guess.
Well, they can, but they shouldn't... especially not glatt.
All together now, Don't stop thinking about tomorrow... :comfort:

Cool, I've been looking to get a little strange...

Psychotic folks have to operate within the rules of larger society, which is to say: no stalking, no threats, no violence, no planned homicides. My faculty advisor in Toronto long ago emphasized these principles to me. Psychotic folks understand very well that certain behaviors aren't acceptable, and modify their behavior accordingly.

I was given this advice again when I had two psychotic children; one was aggressive and violent. The psychiatrist gave me this advice so that I wouldn't excuse inexcusable behavior. He'd seen (and so had I) psychotic individuals size up a situation and decide to behave appropriately in spite of their delusions.

I've been away for a bit and missed this latest, but JBK can't make threats or stalk and have this behavior found acceptable here. The best thing glatt could have done was to give JBK a reality check.

Glatt did give him a reality check, but it didn't take. All JBK did was alter his behavior what he thought would be enough to get away with. He was wrong.

Welcome to the cellar richard32!

Stick around, pull up a thread and join in, eh? Wait, what? You've done just that?... Yes, well, right, right. I see that.

Can you do it again? :-)

No he cannot. Spammer

Ps, your signature is messed up, it's kinda spammy.


Eta, slow typing on the phone, sorry.
