I disagree. My good points have less to do with IQ than with patience and
an irrational beleif that growth can stem from many sources. That and the
fact that I don't minnd suffering abuse, if it helps someone else. A
distictly Shamanic attitude that has given me logically verified results.

But that does not justify YOUR acts of abuse.
