All I can think of is who is Goldie? I read, I re-read I don't know, have I just missed it as a term of endearment for Douglas? It's 2:30, I may just be sleep deprived!
I like the interview style, I'm not 100% sure but I think it was a typed interview rather than spoken and it made me think, if I was interviewed in person or on the phone, it would be a long interview as I couldn't have answered some of those questions on the spot without having a good long think. Like why did I write a post months ago? Erm... I'm not sure Maurice, I can't remember what happened this morning most of the time.. It wouldn't make a very interesting read.
Also, curious as to your Mercurial Immortals team up, we have briefly discussed labelling and medicalisation elsewhere and I had no idea this was of such interest to you that you would consider a whole extra venture to discuss it. I think perhaps we are on different sides of this particular fence so I look forward to that.
Yes Mark, the whole thing is typed, for two reasons..... I have a fluctuating hearing problem, which can be a real problem at times, ie: phone, zoom, muttered podcasts against music background, or - as often happens here in Europe - multitongue social conversations. The other reason is it gives time to formulate better focused responses (sometimes more concise too).
I think that Douglas may have the anchor roll with Mercurial Immortals, with plenty of input from other writers. I think I prefer "viewpoints" or "aspects" to "sides" (even the "experts" can't agree, after all it, the conversation is as much a spectrum as the condition itself.... fixed labels are inadequate. Anyway, no rush yet.....

Fluctuating hearing problems.. I hear that! Or rather I don’t if there is any kind of low hum in the vicinity, a car engine for example.
Spectrum is such a good word for it, I think, it will be a fantastic opportunity for debate!
Thank you very much, Maurice, for this opportunity. Your generous spirit, hard work and laser-like intelligence is much appreciated by your readers.
