    Imbue,

    I don't have to read the link to get the idea. I agree with the quote you provided. It happens all the time.

    Let me tell you a story that happened about 30 years ago. My wife and I and our three young children went out for a country ride. During our travels, we noticed a college baseball game in progress, and decided to drop in. It turned out to be our local community college playing against a similiar team. Now, in the stands, there was no one except my wife, myself, my three young children, and a young college couple. Since the seats were empty, we let our kids run and play. The young woman, an education major, told her boyfriend that my children were hyperactive, which is called ADD today. They were not. They were healthy, energetic kids who were out having a good time. They never had problems in school of a disiplinary nature, and this young chick was there diagnosing my children. Now, I remember that inappropriate behaviour on her part to this day. That is the kind of crap that sticks in my craw.

    we agree on something...You mean we don't have to war?? What will we do??

    Yes, I know it happens all the time and especially here. That was my grip of the day...hehehe

    However, I reserve the right to make observations about behavior and symptoms ..lol I always recommend a psych consult for diagnosing.

    AND

    However the occasional reference to name someone 'psycho' is a personal term of endearment not a medical diagnosis...LOL Usually it means they should seek a psychiatric evaluation ASAP!

    Looks like just the 3 of us - and we seem to be in agreement for the most part? Well, mark this one down in the books!

    Just gotta do it, Imbue. You grip a handlebar (or man by the neck). You gripe about something (or a man). Lord, I gotta know something more than you.......I'm old.

    We all agree that it (misuse of diagnosing individuals) happens frequently. Larc & I both gave real world experiences where people (particularily college students of all grade levels) diagnose incorrectly - or when they have no reason to diagnose in the first place.

    I would like to question "especially here." This is a big forum - it does happen. It happened even more frequently before the Watchtower Observer Forum was formed. And it happens there too.

    I think it's just human nature.

    So, you won't mind when your errors are pointed out then. What's good for one goose is good for another...

    By the way: I know this isn't the only place where diagnosis is thrown about by unqualified persons. I never said it was...Your comment just sent me off on a tangent...LOL

    amac,
    No, your not crazy everytime I discuss anything with these ones they bring all their baggage. They carry it all around all over the board form past posting wars with other posters who aren't even here anymore. That's why it is so confusing to read.

    Okay.......I was seriously going to respond - but I think we're all in agreement here. <- meant to denote humor.

    Thought this was funny though - and I AM joking <- lots of humor!

    Can someone please tell me if I'm crazy? amac
    No, your not crazy - imbue

    See there! It's human nature - we all tend to do it. I would assume you might consult with Dr. Larc?

    It's just words on this thread - no hard feelings were meant to come from me towards anyone. Last week, I literally walked away from a massive collision that sent the other women involved to head surgery and long down time. It wasn't my fault - but it helped me to recognize that threads like this - are just banter.

    Peace be with you, Imbue. I'm going home from work now to my flowers and my silly dogs - they keep jumping on my crippled knee.

    Waiting crazy is a figure of speech not a medical DX. Maybe they didn't point that out to you in psych 101...or English 101

    peace with you waiting
