Yes, you know how to make weasely arguments. You went to law school. They taught you well. Just stop, though. Stop. Now. You know there is no inherent truth in the arguments you're making. Reading a work of literature is nothing like hearing loud fireworks going off. In fact, the Army has soldiers read Ajax to show them that PTSD existed in the ancient world. Psychiatrists and psychologists are pretty uniform in arguing against avoidance as therapy. You know better. Stop the sophistry and just return to reality.

You dont' know shit what you are talking about, so lets talk first about the bad faith arguement you just made where you said Ghavrel should not talk about this for he went to law school and is not studying Psychology. Instead of addressing his arguments you are making an arguement he is not allowed to talk about this for he does not have the proper credentials in your mind.

Well the same applies to you, you fucking hypocrite!

(Yes I brought this conversation up to 11.) But that is what happens you start making bad faith arguements and attacking people's ethical character on stuff like credentials and such.

But the meat of this post is you are lying either because you are lying or you do not know what you are talking about out of ignorance. Literally the same thing you just accused Ghavrel of.


Psychiatrists and psychologists are pretty uniform in arguing against avoidance as therapy. You know better. Stop the sophistry and just return to reality.

No that is not what the psychologists and psychiatrist and such are arguing with trigger warnings. Trigger warnings are not meant to make students in class avoid subject matters. Instead it is about telling the student before hand we are going to cover X topic, and you need to have a support system such as your therapist number on file, a succide hotline, etc. This is because people who have PTSD sometimes do not make the best decisions (and many with PTSD do make the best decisions) but where a bad experience can trigger a succide, or them dropping out of class and instead of getting real help they self destruct in their dorm rooms and so on. Yes their behavior is not rational, but that is why they have an anxiety disorder, ptsd, etc for human beings are not always perfectly rational characters that always exercise our best judgement.

How many people have you know in your real life that suffer PTSD or had a traumatic incident like a rape? I know my number, and I also know people I never met in real life that are RAFOites / Wotmaniacs.

Go Fuck Yourself Tom, for assuming only your life experience matters and you get to tell other people to go fuck yourself.

Agreed but there is a difference in severity between 1997 to 2017 vs 997 to 1017 *NM* - 18/10/2017 05:52:14 AM 466 Views

no it is just hard to see the problem from the inside - 17/10/2017 11:51:08 AM 765 Views
Re: no it is just hard to see the problem from the inside - uh, yes. - 17/10/2017 01:44:26 PM 780 Views

Thanks. - 17/10/2017 01:00:42 PM 694 Views
I disagree with relation to trigger warnings. - 17/10/2017 11:17:45 PM 757 Views
A fair point. - Still, how far will you extend them? - 18/10/2017 12:47:50 AM 737 Views
I don't know, but I'm not entirely sure it's a big deal either way. - 18/10/2017 02:56:09 AM 689 Views
Nods - 18/10/2017 03:17:17 AM 712 Views
And I would posit that no work of literature should have any trigger warnings. - 18/10/2017 01:02:44 PM 887 Views
Re: And I would posit that no work of literature should have any trigger warnings. - 18/10/2017 08:48:01 PM 770 Views
How would you propose such warnings be worded? - 18/10/2017 09:21:02 PM 743 Views
Do you know a lot of people who suffer from PTSD? - 19/10/2017 05:26:06 AM 916 Views
Stop. Now. - 19/10/2017 06:21:13 AM 695 Views
Avoidance isn't the purpose of those warnings, though. - 19/10/2017 06:32:16 AM 731 Views
You would ruin the literature though. And discussions around the literature. - 19/10/2017 01:21:20 PM 761 Views
That's reasonable. - 19/10/2017 11:58:56 PM 723 Views

An unnecessary tool.... - 23/10/2017 05:14:06 PM 680 Views
Why does this reasoning apply to PTSD but not to other diseases? PTSD is a physical issue. - 24/10/2017 12:33:31 AM 684 Views

Because it's easier to absolve oneself of power sometimes. For those people anyway. - 17/10/2017 01:10:41 PM 721 Views

I'm not even sure "echo chamber" is the right phrase - 17/10/2017 02:17:07 PM 838 Views
I'm not sure that is the most common choice. - 17/10/2017 05:21:52 PM 847 Views

That's alright. This is a confusing country in many ways. - 18/10/2017 08:58:15 PM 721 Views
