Etiquette



DP Etiquette

First rule: Don't be a jackass.

Other rules: Do not attack or insult people you disagree with. Engage with facts, logic and beliefs. Out of respect for others, please provide some sources for the facts and truths you rely on if you are asked for that. If emotion is getting out of hand, get it back in hand. To limit dehumanizing people, don't call people or whole groups of people disrespectful names, e.g., stupid, dumb or liar. Insulting people is counterproductive to rational discussion. Insult makes people angry and defensive. All points of view are welcome, right, center, left and elsewhere. Just disagree, but don't be belligerent or reject inconvenient facts, truths or defensible reasoning.

The Doctors are… IN?

Barring the Australian Outback or savage natives on some remote South Seas jungle island, I’d venture to say that there is virtually no adult on the planet who hasn’t heard of and probably witnessed many of the “activities” of one Donald J. Trump.


But, forget about the jungle and the Outback. Let’s stick closer to (blog) home here.  

We are all civilized people. We pay attention to what’s going on in the bigger world out there.  We have seen Trump in action.  So...

Question: Knowing what you know about him, is Donald Trump more (i) crazy (as in a Hitleresque madman with delusions of grandeur), or more (ii) crazy like a fox (as in appearing foolish or strange but actually very clever). In other words, how much of what he does is nefariously “calculated?”


Which way does his (un)balance(ed) scales tip?



Any additional thoughts?  

As one of our resident armchair psychologists, what is your psychological diagnosis of Donald Trump?
