The Saga of Little Red Julie Hood and the Big Bad Wolf
God deals breed fanaticism or at least, attract fanatic types. I guess that's always going to be true. Seems to me no more than fanatics of any other type, really. I suppose someone that looked at people openly espousing stuff having to do with God as being fanatical would then see more fanatics. On the other hand, ...

Is it Jeff or is it Phil?
Mike, if he is such a person, is a fanatic or a person portraying Mike as a fanatic. Best, GaryE who are you talking about? If this continues, we may have to see if we can put it in the FAQ. See, it's like this: Gary thinks that everybody that disagrees with him is actually one or two people posting under a ...

God NO!!! Not another side.
It is axiomatic that fanatics and extremists will consider even moderation as opposition and all opposition as flawed characters or stupid. Know you aren't an extremist or fanatic, that you are well, more than mainstream with 3/4's of the world in your corner as "anti US" (That's what you wrote up there). ...

How do you handle this kind?
They usually become fanatics because they vest so much (my opinion based on my experience with more than one fanatic in more than one 'cause') of their person and they can's seem to moderate. They have to create some fanatical hard world that doesn't accommodate anything but 'believers.' They are at war with anyone ...

Coffee and Cigarettes
It's difficult, if not outright impossible, to stop a fanatic from his self appointed rounds. And there are fanatics in AA, none would deny, would they? I certainly would not. One other thing that bothers me about this story is the aversion to hugging. It certainly was his right not to hug anybody if he didn't want ...

revalation
It is not unlike the religious fanatic who feels it is God's calling for him/her to correct the wrongs of the world by judging and punishing others. Sometimes the punishing involves violence. If violence is used, whether 'mental' or physical, the case is no longer 'border line.' The Psychiatrist is Out. ...
