I hate to dissappoint you, Doc, but I'm quite nice to some people. I hope this doesn't make you think any less of me.

I agree. Most people who try to do it are not clever enough to do it right. Harbal has a GIFT... and I'm really glad that he dispenses it freely. I wouldn't be here if it weren't for him. Because for me, humor is the major redeeming quality of this site. Humor seems to transmit wisdom and clarify/broaden perspective faster and more efficiently than any other method. But it is a DIVINE DANCE... and takes real skill... and Harbal has the right moves!

I'm sorry, but I hadn't noticed, I'll try to pay closer attention.

How can I recognize a psychotic person ?
It is awkward to ask: can you hear voices that other people cannot hear ?

And if it is a psychotic person when does such a person become dangerous ?
What shall I watch out for ?

The person I mean seems to be exetremely vulnerable.
That´s why I am very cautious.

In that case I wouldn't call it an upgrade.

Nothing wrong with being nice, is there ?
