Charlie, best to learn from my miserable mistakes in this. Mr. Crowbridge just will not comply with requests for evidence if you display any doubts about the veracity of his post.
It's as simple as that.
After considerable reflection and soul searching, I believe I made a massive mistake - an understandable one, I have to say, but one all the same - in regard to Mr. Towbridge's article in another folder. I had doubts about the posters statements and asked for evidence. My style was not suited to Mr. Rowbridge's personality and he, quite rightly, decided not to comply with my requests for evidence.
The fact is that if you take Mr. Crowbridge's statements at face value, as obviously we should, then we wouldn't even consider asking for them to be evidenced. On the other hand, if we entertain doubts, and ask for evidence - without asking in a manner fitting Mr. Cockbridge's obvious perspicacity, you'll not get it.
It as simple as that.
But I have observed the gentleman's generosity, when correctly asked for specific information, he will provide, with charming alacrity, another of his lengthy articles in fulfillment of that request. I have noticed also, that he thoughtfully provides links to some of his other articles as supporting footnotes to substantiate assertions made in the body of yet other articles.
Which is highly thoughtful of him. And which is, you have to admit, a brilliantly simple way of providing potential critics with a disarming response to their requests for evidence.
It's as simple as that.
In conclusion, I suggest we jointly pose a question for the Mr. Foolbridge. Is he, by any chance, a practicing Roman Catholic?
I realize it is impolite to ask, but as you know, I am a person of high moral character who has a very considerable degree of effluence in high Catholic circles, and I am aware that they are always on the lookout for exceptional persons to join the ranks of the beatified saints. I could always put in a good word for him if he wishes?

A stigmata might be appropriate too. A perpetually bleeding heart perhaps?
And a suitable emblem. What about a dry quill pen emblazoned on a dead Codfish bearing three keys - none of which open anything.
It's as simple as that.

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.
