...Vlad, there's probably not one person on the planet
who hasn't put their "foot in their mouth" at one time
or another....present company included!  (I, too, have
gone "off-topic".)  
...I wasn't personally offended, nor did you insult
any religious beliefs.  However, I did take issue with
your lack of documentation to support your criticism
that Freud was, as you stated, "a complete fraud and
an enemy of civilization in a philosophical, as well
as a very real sense."  
...On the contrary.  Perhaps it's worthy to note that
when Albert Einstein was invited by the Int'l.
Institute of Intellectual Co-operation to choose one
person for the exchange to determine/examine the human
causes and cure of war, he chose Sigmund Freud, based
upon his groundbreaking publication, "Civilization and
Its Discontents."

Yes, I 'jumped the gun' in posting (probably as a
result of engaging in one too many political wars on
one of those types of forums), but my comments crossed
the bounds of being merely off-topic and were
gratuitously offensive.

I realize that this type of thing has no place here
and
I am truly sorry.  I did not mean to insult anyone's
religious beliefs although I quickly realized that was
exactly what I had done with my big mouth.

Please accept my apologies.  I promise to stay on
topic
from now on.
