Hello BitterSweet, An interesting post...The first one that is... But you see, the only time bandit around is the one that I allow. They are like dust bunnies. They don't exist unless I am shirking in my duties. Now sometimes I rather enjoy doing other things and letting the dust bunnies grow. Sometimes I enjoy conversations with folks where nothing is going to happen. Sometimes it is merely the process that is the enjoyment, not the end point. And I am responsible for my time... no one else. For example, I'm spending time answering your post instead of ... making a pot of coffee or sewing on a button, or oiling the chain on my bike, preparing my next lecture. But I do it because I enjoy the process. I am using my time wisely because it brings me pleasure. What for one is a time bandit, for another may be a hobby or an excercise or art. As for people who are disabled and not socially ept. Well, the internet has been a BOON for people with disabilities. We can learn much from each other and now we have a forum through which we can enjoy one another's company. I learned to speak American Sign Language to be able to speak with deaf people. I am not deaf, I didn't know anyone who was deaf, but I just wanted to be able to. And now I can use the internet to talk with people whose language I can't speak, deaf people are able to interact with the hearing, those who don't have auditory voices can now join those of us with working vocal chords. Imagine if someone were to tell Stephen Hawking that he is a time bandit. Well that would be an interesting experience. As for your knowledge of psychology.... The first rule of a Twue Psychotherapist is to do no harm. Your responses are deliberately condescending and snotty. I expect no harm is done because you don't have the authority or respect to actually harm the people on the boards. I have faith in the people here. However, you may want to rethink about the vinegar you throw out. It's like saying I know the pythagoreun theorum or what a keystone is. Therefore, I can give you advice on how to build a bridge. Foul! I say. Good luck. May you find some honey in your world, sunshine
