You may be right, depending on the definition of "kindness" used. So, sorry for the tone if it was offensive. But it was purposeful.

some Christian kindness might achieve more than a gratuitous boot to his head.
DSM
See, if I put myself in PJ's shoes, I believe that what I would need most would be for someone to tell me repeatedly (1) that my thinking was vague, misdirected, and damaging to myself; (2) that I was not properly thinking things through at all; (3) that I was letting my own ego get in the way of my health; and (4) that any help offered here would likely not be able to get through until deeper psychological issues were addressed in my case, and that I might need to pursue that. Stat.
That is nothing more than my opinion based on what I assume I would need to hear if it was me. And one day it could very easily be me. So, I hope this board takes note of that request on my part in order to be prepared to offer me that help and advice should that day come--assuming that it isn't already here, that is; in which case, please tell me now.
There but for the grace . . .
