Remember, he's no longer working as a "psychiatrist", so legally he wouldn't be liable for making diagnoses over the net. Second, psychiatrists, like everybody else, come in all flavors. I've known more than one who "Would be silly enough to posit a diagnosis over the net like that". I'm not sure what you meant by "ID had claimed to be a psychologist, so I doubt he would have sold himself so short previously". Huh? Surely you're not making the popular mistake of thinking psychologists are not as well trained as psychiatrists, Len! You'd be wrong.<g> I read all the guy's posts and couldn't find a diagnosis, by the way. At one point in a post to Auric, he referred to Auric's "personality traits", but that's certainly no crime.

I doubt even the worst of the lot would act as he has. Don't bet on it. On a daily basis, psychiatrists give mind altering drugs to grade school kids (without their consent), fry people's brains with electricity (without consent), screw their patients, hypnotize people (without their consent), and collect our tax money for doing it. Not to mention the bogus and arrogant "explanations" they have for things they don't understand. People die every day in this country after being "helped" by psychiatrists. I've never met a psychiatrist that was not insane. They are a very bad lot, buddy, and capable of anything.
