Wow, I didn't realize until the last few posts on this thread you were the same person as some Schmo!, no wonder I admired and resonated so well with "Perfume on my Mind's" posts!. I should have recognized your writing style.

I've thought for quite some time now that when Doc is sensible, he's plagiarizing/paraphrasing someone else.
Perhaps so, but I don't think that is necessarily the case. We all sometimes mirror and base our opinions on what others have said that we find reasonable and admirable.
When he talks like a loon, he's being himself.
More likely, perhaps, or maybe it's just him trying to be humorous.
There's no point talking to him. He's the mental patient on the corner you cross the street to avoid.
This reminds me of a neighbor we used to have, an obvious schizophrenic, who lived across the street a few houses west of us and who was often seen and heard on his porch arguing loudly and obscenely with an imaginary opponent, whom he was always accusing of being a f******** liar who never told the truth. Not that I am saying or implying that DocCam is a schizophrenic, by the way. I don't believe that is the case.
You're a nice guy trying to see him in the most optimistic light for so long, but it doesn't surprise me the truth has finally broken through your optimism.
Thanks for that endorsement. You know I like you too!
