I would find "moron" to be worse when it comes out o the mouth of a psychologist...... Seeing how "moron" is/was a psychological term. That's just me. No reason to keep debating it though.....it was rude regardless, luckily most posters here don't resort to that.

Agreed. Tsk.

It shouldn't bother you. Just speaking for myself, there were times I was a moron in some of my counseling sessions. People change, though, thank God. :lol:

No view, I didn't make a statement. I asked, does name calling supplants any reasonable arguments in a debate? Seems like you agree. Dunno.

Sure I AGREEEEEEE 110% !

Perhaps your experience is, shall we say, somewhat limited when compared to the real world? Hardly generalizable at all.:cool2:

So now you have a problem with me defending people with doctorates? What was wrong with that? Are you saying that TXgolfer was right?

Not to mention which, your contact with such was, no doubt, on a strictly limited and professional basis.

Nope. Even redneck little ol' me hobnobs with some ed-ju-micated people. Yeehaw!

I don't believe it is ethical for terps to preach to their deaf clientele...

Which, I do not do.

...but since you are not in a professional capacity on this forum, that little ethical issue is not important, now is it?

What does that have to do with my post defending people with doctorates? Was it unethical? :confused:

Why should people who have degrees should be expected to act professionally in their "off" hours? Like if this applies to every person, then, as a teacher, I am not allowed to go to nightclubs and dance crazy? That would be a bummer if people held me to that of high standards that I wont be allowed to be human. No fun.

Name calling is fun?

I don't think it has to do with professionalism but with maturity.

:dunno: you and I never agree....we haven't had to resort to nastiness. We might think each others ideas are wacko but it doesn't have to get personal. That is when many members start disappearing for a while.....

Humans call each other names. Your point is?

If I wanted to call my hubby a "fucking asshole" does that mean I am wrong because I am a teacher? :lol:

:shock:

I would think it's wrong because you're his wife. It's not very loving or respectful. It has nothing to do with being a teacher unless you do it where your students or family are present.

Theortically asking...

but humans do do that every now and then. If one claims to be so perfect, then they arent humans.

Life happens. Oh well. We move on. If you dont like Jillio's name calling, tell her but dont use her degrees as a reason. One has nothing to do with the other. That's the whole point.
 
We can safely say that name calling has little to do maturity but rather a lack of it.

that made me miss "HeeHaw". Lol

true story. I play golf with 2 shrinks and a preacher back home. Years ago one of the shrink lost his 18th ball of the day. The other shrink turns to me and says "can you fix that". About that time the other shrink went into a rant and threw his club in the trees. Which led me to return the question..."can you fix that?". That phrase is said at least 20 times a round now.....funny every time..... Well to three of us. We ask the preacher when it starts to rain.

You have no idea how true that is. Although I think some people have a very loose definition of maturity.

I think it all depends on how we live our lives. I like to go out dancing at clubs every once in a while and some people would call me immature for liking to do that because I will be 40 but then again, I see 60 year olds at clubs just having a grand time. So, does that mean, I should be sitting on a rocking chair on a Saturday night for the rest of life because I am 40 or because I am a teacher? In my opinion, no but if others feel that is how their own lives should be, then kudos to them.

So, I let certain people label me as immature but as long as I am out and having fun, it is all good.

As for name calling...ok that is a different story but what does having a college degree have to do with name calling? That was where my questioning and theoritically speaking came in.

I'm 44 years old going on 45 and I still like to dress rocker style - especially goth and punk.

People will always resort to name calling regardless of education. Our politicians are excellent examples of this phenomenon.
