deconstructing little "p"............
I'll just have to run the risk of mis-interpreting what you say, perhaps with mentorship I might aspire to the point of enlightenment you claim.
When you say, <"Quick on your diagnosos of pathology in an opposing viewpoint, eh?" Actually I wasn't sure whether this young man was presenting a pathological state or a personality disorder.
And I wasn't sure what source was proper for interpreting a "diagnosos." So, I did the best I could a went to the diagnostic criteria from the DSM-IV-TR and suspect 279.1 of the grandiose type might be close---then again, he just might be a Republican.
I still go along with Voltaire by recognizing your right to be wrong. You are good at, probably because you have so much practise.
