Jim, with great respect I disagree about your conclusions and judgement in this particular matter.
I speak for no one apart from myself in this regard, but I do not find Robert to be either professional or enlightening, nor particularly knowledgeable.
Not least, a complaint has been received about him and has been considered and a judgement made. It is the lot of those who run forums to everlastingly try to balance the diversity of opinion. It's not always easy, or comfortable a role. And inevitably there are those who will be upset and those who will not be upset, with any judgement reached. A fine line has to be trod. We take that role and our custodianship of this forum seriously. That is one reason we will never allow advertising here. That is why we dig into our own pockets each year to ensure the forum remains uncontaminated by any form of commercialism.
Do we get it right every time? No. But I think we get it right more often than not.
I'm genuinely sorry for any poor experiences you've had here Jim. The passion of dearly held beliefs often colour our judgements, I think. This is simply a fact of human nature.
It will not, therefore, surprise you at all to hear that I fundamentally and utterly disagree about your view about veneer. Judgements made in the bloody heat of battle are often the poorest judgements a man ever makes.
I admire you, Jim, especially for all the good work you did on 911.

The shadow is a moral problem that challenges the whole ego-personality, for no one can become conscious of the shadow without considerable moral effort. To become conscious of it involves recognizing the dark aspects of the personality as present and real. This act is the essential condition for any kind of self-knowledge.
