Tom Scully Wrote:Scott,
It is not possible to take you seriously, or at your word, or your ability to weigh and prioritize information.
Anyone reading this thread quickly understands these shortcoming of yours, and that they are a result of
your attitude and abilities. Your attitude is plain, your abilities are in doubt and you've offered some excuses but
you show no willingness to make allowances for deficiencies in your abilities, only demands.
You indicate you do not recognize primary sources when they are presented to you repeatedly. Instead you react by
calling them forgeries. You indicate you will say and post anything to avoid admitting you are mistaken.
You have a chip on your shoulder and show no respect for accuracy, or for the honest research of others placed
right under your nose for your consideration. Why are you attempting to participate on forums?
I posted this for you to read more than four years ago. I see no personal development, Scott. You may have been more
coherent in 2011 than you indicate, this week. Your biggest discernible accomplishment is doubling down on avoidance.
If you were sitting across a table from me and you were bleeding profusely, I would urge you to stop avoiding immediate
medical treatment. I urge you now to immediately stop avoiding other serious but possibly treatable health issues.
They continue to overwhelm you..... as they did in October, 2011. The last thing you should be doing is attempting to author
books until you recognize attempted authorship and forum "participation," are avoidance methods, not growth attempts.
Pursue solutions to your personal issues and then decide if you have a compelling book rewrite "in you," that will be of
interest to a sizeable number of other readers. For the last five years, you've projected on forums that you are an issue
plagued interruption and I am sure you want to be and could be more of a presence than that. Do the work to make it
happen. It cannot be more difficult, or embarrassing than what you have been projecting through avoidance of dealing with
your important personal challenges.

Scott,
I posted the portion of the forum rules I thought you needed to read because I was trying to help you conform and to benefit from the advice Greg and Jim have been trying to give you. Unfortunately you reply mostly as if you are being attacked. There are not all that many active posters here. Why not do the reading to get a better sense of who we are and what we have posted? You post so often as if it were your first day as a member of this forum.

Tom, I don't believe you know me well enough to judge me. I remember a time thinking back to a conversation I had with Larry Hancock, we were going though our regular email exchanges and I was trying to explain something to him, as time went on I believe he took a different view as to what it was I was telling him, and although it took awhile, he said something to me that has stuck with me till this day. He said, Scott, sometimes you just have to pull me in before I consider it.
Well, that has stuck with me, and the funny thing is, today, I just posted this on Facebook. "Sometimes, just coming right out and saying something doesn't always work, you have to pull people in, bait the hook, real in the line little by little, until there's no line left, then drop the net. Perhaps, it's the only way for some folks to understand."
So, before you start to judge me Tom, take a minute and think about that.
