So, if I say I have serious issues will that protect me? Or do I need a note from a licensed medical professional?

My reply was possibly ott in part because of who I was responding to which was a mistake as it was just classic Dids and he got what he wanted. I honestly had no intention of going into bat for Babs. Initially I was more just reflecting on the hugely different approach people take towards Babs and mlylt, when apparently they are so similar. Anyway sorry to everyone for this boring derail, thankfully I am in the right thread for it. I won't reply to any other posts regarding it, unless of course it's Lapka

It’s not unfair at all. My critics — specifically LKJ and El D — are operating in utter good faith. Both know full well that I take their criticism in the entirely honest and decent spirit in which it is intended.

It would greatly help if you became entertaining overnight.

I basically won't pick on people if I gather that they're sensitive (unless they're horrendous human beings like Babs, in which case it's fine).

This. I listen to good faith criticism. It may or may not change my views, but I’m able for whatever reason to not have my feelings hurt by it or react to it emotionally.

This is a terribly amusing idea. Will you accept speakpipe?

Greg is someone else with whom I often disagree but whom I respect and who I firmly believe I would like IRL if I were ever to meet him.

You've already said you have serious issues. Every diagnosis in the DSM iirc.

You may be beyond help. Have you considered alternative medicine?

Partner giving up smoking. How can I help?
My bf is currently trying to give up smoking. It has been a bit of an ongoing process where he has been gradually cutting back. He is now at the point he doesn't smoke at work and probably has 6-8 cigarettes outside of work per day. The plan is to keep cutting back and then in a couple of months quit completely.

This is really great and I am hoping quitting will stick this time around. Negatives are that he is not nearly as easygoing while he is going through withdrawal. I understand this and try not to take his grumpiness personally. Basically I am just wondering if people have any suggestions in how I can help him in the process. I want to encourage him obviously but not nag him about it. He says that when he has given up in the past he really misses it. What sorts of things have people done to try and replace the void of smoking?

Any input would be appreciated.

A number of psychologists have programs specifically for this.

You can also put some foul tasting substance on the front so it tastes horrible and he associates it with negative.

Walk.

I heard it is easier to give up heroin than smoking. GL.

golf, it has been all fun and games until now, but:

if you want to participate in other threads, learn to be a good (or at least a non-bad) poster and become a free man again. People have made dozens of suggestions as to how to do that. There is a possibility that you may not be amenable to rehabilitation though.

But for god's sake quit copying and replying to posts from other threads here or I doubt there will be a reprieve from the governor.

Tom - you should lose your correctional officer credentials. You don't even know the rules of the prison.

For the immediate future, you both may only post in the following OOT thread: https://forumserver.twoplustwo.com/3...hread-1534056/

You may quote posts from other threads and discuss them in your containment thread, you can really do anything you want in there, spam the hell out of it if you want.

Reading through that thread historically can give you a good idea about what it takes to be freed. There have been some pretty great performances so far, but I'm hopeful you two can be the best yet.

If you make good posts in that thread and show you deserve un-containment, it will happen, as it has for the other previously CONTAINED posters.

Best,
Larry

Actually, I think that's what contained posters are supposed to do!

Golf,

Thanks for the response. I have heard the same thing, hopefully he can kick it.

Tom,

I think it's just ESA stuff 27 doesn't want in here and golf is now born again in this regard so it should be all good!

Well, it really isn't important that I know them, is it?

Interesting. I don't know that I ever saw anybody do it before. Or maybe I just wasn't paying attention to things that bad posters posted.

Hard. My mom did smoke-enders. There are a couple of drug rehab units one of my doctors is the medical director. They can kick heroin. Not a chance of cigarettes. I heard switching to vaping may help.

Yep. Trying. In a very difficult period.

I don't think that HT can read them with proper intonation.
