odd time signatures: Pissy Psychology

    Professionals are permitted to ~treat~ people with disorders. They do not, however, have a corner on the market of discerning mental illness in others. I find Murray's posts quite disturbing and reason for alarm by those who knew him. The adolescent nature of web communications lead to no one challenging his thinking in the name of Free Speech. So he kept going, empowered by a firey religiosity that led him to pick up a gun and go after a crowd.

    Grohl should give you a break -- if he has his own opinions shaped by his professional experience, he should give it. Instead, he turns pollyanna, whining about how his turf has been invaded by an amateur -- forgetting, of course, that most mental illness is first identified by amateurs.

    Well said. And if not for amateurs identifying mental illness, the professionals would have a real problem, since they can't go out and solicit their business.
