For a while I thought about posting another angry response to this email. But then I decided not to. The reason I was posting angry responses was because I've been down with the flu for a while, and not been able to get any time off, so I've been a wee bit stressed. Mad stressed actually. And then I was thinking about what I said about Mr. Dave, and realized that I was correct in a sense. No, he wasn't raped by a poodle. I talked with the base shrink, and he said that Dave shows the signs of begging for our attention. For some odd reason, Redd Dave is sending a plea for attention from us. This exibits all the characteristics of a misbehaved 6-year old, who wants his parents to pay more attention to him. By acting out and being annoying, Dave hopes to attract our attention. Then, by pretending it never happened, he hopes to gain our friendship. Whenever he feels like he is less than the center of attention, he begins to act out again, to try to gain the center stage back once again. Sadly, I have no solution for this. Basically, I've been reading way the hell too much pyschology recently, and I started to think about all the wackos on this board. I also figured that the General has Turret's syndrome. He definately exibits the characteristics of it. Anyway, that's my theory on Redd. I like shrink-talk.
