her as he chooses to see her. It is even possible (but by no means a certainty) that Mr
Tang has projected some of his own mentality onto the emotional complex that her words
have constellated in him.

Regardless the accuracy of Mr Tang's guesses and hunches about Evelyn, his decision to
make his diagnosis of her psychological state a public document shows an alarming lack
of sensitivity to issues of discretion, privacy and modesty, values that are highly
prized both in Western and in traditional Asian Buddhist circles.>>

About five hours prior to your post (17:17:09 GMT, 12:17 AM US East Coast time), Evelyn
posted "Evelyn's Agenda" (6:59 AM US East Coast time), where she wrote:

<<In case he decides to go further than the newsgroups where I can ignore him with a
mouse click, there is another kind of a click waiting for him here. My husband is a
brown belt in Gosshin Ru Karate, a notoriously tough kind, an expert marksman with a
large gun collection, and a war Veteran in top physical condition.   I have not told
him the whole story about this yet, ....intending to, but not looking forward to it....
(he is very protective of me).

We also own a couple of well trained large protection dogs and even though I am in the
country, we have an excellent police force around here, with whom I am good friends.
Tang should remember that likewise we also do not live too far away from him and the
roads go both directions.>>

She here issued direct, explicit threats of physical harm to me. She clearly meant that
she could drive to where I live and shoot me or have me shot ("click", "an expert
marksman with a large gun collection") or have large dogs attack me.

So, Professor Hayes, are you satisfied? Or as an empiricist, would you demand real
evidence like gunshot wounds and dog bites, possibly on a dead corpse, and not just
threats posted on Usenet for the world to see?

As to online Usenet diagnoses, just look up Evelyn's posts. She diagnoses people like
mad, especially Linda, whom she keeps reminding of abuse after Linda revealed that she,
Linda, had a father and an uncle who were both pedophiles (though Linda refused to feel
like a victim and courageously took full responsibility for her life).

Thank you for your thoughtful post, and sorry that I can only answer to a short part of
it; I may answer more later. By the way, I like your new electronic address
(dignaga@yahoo.com). Bonne ann�e.
