You are still throwing terms out there. Again, when you have a
philosophical discussion you cannot just assume you are correct and
post an egotistical response, which you are continuing to do. You must
provide evidence or a counter-argument. And when you post a source,
you should provide some kind of emphasis on what kind of point you're
trying to make rather than just pasting one of your search results to
the list--anyone here, I'm sure, has the mental capacity to go and use
google.

And if you studied psychology in high school you should be well aware
that you can't diagnose someone through e-mail. So don't go throwing
out terms like "delusional" and "schizophrenic" so freely.
