So was Jimmy Savile.
Some people develop a persona that is the polar opposite of their true self with the sole intention of satisfying their inner self's desires. Paedophiles are one example, and psychopaths are another. If anyone fell for MrSwiss' antics, then he was successful. So what was his desires? I don't know. What I do know is that before he got banned, I was starting to feel sorry for him and his attacks on me began to have no effect because I reckoned his brain's wiring was off-kilter. There is no place for such an individual in a Peer Support Community.
So, what am I – a psychologist already? No but I have been around the block a few times and half of my little library is about cosmology and the other half is about psychology. I started reading psychology in my twenties when I was reading mathematics and kept it up. The last book I bought was a few months ago on the history of psychology, going back to the early part of the last century.
jj2007 is not a MrSwiss.

I agree but not necessarily a whole life tariff. A suspension to me should be the order of the day; perhaps a hefty one in some cases. Exceptionally a permanent ban should be imposed as with MrSwiss.
The title of the thread stated by jj2007 at the other forum is: “Banned from the FreeAsic forum, hooray!” That was stupid. Jochen will be reading this. Sorry, my friend, but that
was stupid.
I think it's jj who has to make the next move now.
How? He and Paul need to be on better terms. If Paul is agreeable, I could try to persuade Jochen to contact him. Putin and Biden are still talking, and Kiev is still standing.
Paul, I have just asked Jochen if he would agree to write to you with a view to settling your differences. Would you agree to speak with him?
