"Ok, you can just cut that psycho babble bull**** your mom tells you."
Go to the Lville Scout board and save me the verbal diarrhea you picked up in Psych 101 in college.
I take it you've never seen the movie Young Fankenstein. I was laughing at myself as much as anyone on this board if you understood the references.
No pscho babble on my part. I just enjoy trying to understand human behavior. My observations are purely subjective. My mom, may she rest in peace, did not provide me with any background on this subject. My interest developed in my early 40's and had to do with why so many people wait until problems develop before reacting and then convince themselves they were not part of the problem nor had an advanced warning. I got interested in the subject because I had personally advised many people on lots of occasions about developing problems. It was fascinating how often and how many people had selective amnesia.
I have no interest in going over to the Louisville board. My interest is UConn and I'm comfortable in my own skin not to concern myself what other people say. Louisville doesn't interest me. I get everything I need regarding anonymous interaction from The Boneyard. I learn a lot from some posters, I laugh with and sometimes at (mostly to myself) other posters. And I reflect on the way various people say things. Occasionally I'll respond to a poster directly with the intent of guiding that poster away from self destruction. Occasionally I'll put my 2 cents in about the behavior of players.
Some people love this because, like myself, they are interested in figuring out what makes people tick. Many are uncomfortable with this and the one primary theory I have about this is that many of us don't want to reflect on our flaws. If we don't acknowledge them maybe they don't exist or aren't really a problem. Usually I defer to the majority. But not in this instance. Understanding human behavior is paramount if we want to correct all the atrocities that are going on in the world. Not understanding it would be the equivalent of having someone trying to fix a car who doesn't even know what a car does and never worked with machines.
I believe the operative word that triggered your response was my use of the word "jerks". It was hyperbole only to support the rest of the paragraph. If you need to feel better, I have no problem stating you are not a jerk and I am. There is nothing wrong with people being jerks. In no way do I feel superior to anyone else. There are many people in these forums I respect as more knowledgeable than myself over a plethora of subjects. But that's the way the dice were rolled. I contribute what I can.
