I read some thing on NVC a while ago (none verbal communication)
Strip away NVC inhibitors (body lkanguage, eye contact, tone of voice),
you strip away inhibitors to what people think.
In other words it hards to restrian your thought in an intetnet forum.
Maybe half the flamers, and trolls can't help themselves? The lack of NVC restraint forces them to express them selves.

Not sure, part the reason for my success in my work, is my ability to empathise with people with abberant thought patterns.
I worked in a residential school for kids with ASDs, and pretty much went native for 6 months.
Too be honest alot of the rituals, behavious, that baffled others made sense to me.
I remember seeing Eric Idle, Michael Palin and The Bonzos on 'Do Not Adjust Your Set' (cracking show at the time) and reading various things about Lennon and McCartney popping up in the studio to record incognito on the odd Bonzos track. I think I can hear their voices on some tracks. John Lennon reputedly said, 'The Bonzos are what the Beatles could have been..'
But it's all a long time ago now! Well, relatively speaking!

I suspect that being human means that we are all a little bit crazy. Not that the word crazy conveys what I mean, nor does nutter. I don't mean it a derogatory way.
Ay, Griff, on Harrison's Extra Texture, Legs Larry appears on the last track "His name is Legs".
Quote: Griff @ July 29 2008, 10:47 AM BSTI'll ask Legs about that next time I see him!
Legs Larry Smith!
*swoons*
I am a great big Bonzos fan!
Wow! You drink with a Bonzo! 
I drink with dog doo dah - is that the same?
John Lennon apparently fantasised about doing an icgnito tour with the Beatles, as Ricky and the Rockets.
They'd all wear masks.
Even though Viv Stanshall and Neil Innes were pretty much the front men in The Bonzos, if you watched the others in the background, all of them were really quite funny to watch!
They are truly one of my fave bands of all time. I was disappointed they didn't get more critical acclaim. But they did ok for awhile.

To me sanity is a comparative thing.
Had colleagues from Nigeria who thought I was barking, because I didn't believe in people who could transform into goats by magic.
That said never had some one from Tanzania try and sell me a jar of ALbino cock cream, to make me rich.

I like to do that too, at night..
Go on an icognito tour with Ringo and Paul?
Could be fun.
I head Peter Sutcliffe offered to fill in for Stewart Sutcliffe.
