Tomatheus, we have much in common (although I wish I were more like you with regard to objectivity and deliberation). There are very few times when I don't fact check myself before I post things. As you so astutely suggested, it doesn't take very much in our age of the electronic information superhighway to research things.
It is sometimes difficult for me, but I strive to be able to recognize the difference between what I know and what I don't know. For most people, this seems effortless. I guess I'm not perfect after all.

I am not at all happy that you should feel hurt by the writings of one of our posters. I hope you can find a posture that helps you to minimize this. It has been my observation that some posters enjoy eliciting negative emotional reactions in others and being as disruptive as possible. It is an unfortunate situation. Even mentally ill people can be genuine trolls. With regard to the poster who upset you, I have found it to my advantage to simply ignore them. I understand that this is easier said than done. There are times when I choose not to ignore them, but I am in control of this choice. I try not to give over to someone else the power to upset me.
In any event, I am very, very glad that you participate on Psycho-Babble, and I hope you choose to continue.
