Well, Pete, we all look at the world through different eyes, don't we?
As I look at the long-standing feud between our highly esteemed LB and the evil, demon, liberal Jim, I simply see two highly agitated individuals who believe that this next election in the U.S. is going to be pivotal to our country's development, if not its decline.
However, after 30+ years dealing with individuals of all ages who are truly "delusional" (yes, even children can have mental diseases) I find it easy to identify the one who is delusional....look at LB's issues with the public education system, for one....most likely a resulting paranoia from having been one of the subjects of the educational system's attempts to tone down the behavior/rhetoric that would have been disruptive to the educational process.
Paranoid-delusional.....sound familiar?
LB's political views may agree with yours more closely than do those of Jim's, but that doesn't make him delusional any more than do LB's postings (quite the opposite, in fact, at least Jim attempts to keep the insulting rhetoric down, although I must admit LB seems to have gotten the best of him in that respect lately).
IMHO, we'd be much better off with more Jims and much better off with fewer LBs. The "schism" between the two is quite similar to the schism we are seeing between our political parties recently...no agreement, no room for discussion, and no answering the oppositions' questions, either, although Jim seems willing to do at least that more so than LB.
Regardless, I doubt seriously Jim was profering any sort of a threat, it just doesn't seem like him at all. LB, on the other hand.....he's a ticking time bomb, just waiting for the right trigger to go "postal".
Cheers!
Doug
