No, it hasn't, but that is a very inappropriate question for this public board.

But for argument's sake, let's say it did. Would it make any of what I posted any less credible? I suppose it might to a law-and-order type like yourself, but that really just amounts to attacking the messenger.

Hindsight is 20/20.

"Behold me. I have been wronged."

So many of you play that role and other supporting roles here so well...

[bacasper]

OK, Goph, you got me. I am Christopher Paul Neill.

Now will you answer the question?

[Gopher]

Sure I will.

(1) It explains the politics of your position; and
(2) It tends to confirm my impression of a significant number of Americans/Canadians who flee to South Korea to live and work

[bacasper]

So you are not only going to hijack the thread, but you are going to take the ball and run with it!

And you still haven't answered the question.

[Gopher]

Bacasper: the hijack occurred at Fri Aug 28, 2009 8:13 pm. I merely sought to understand the intensity of your apparently personal reaction to ManintheMiddle's assertion.

We are done here, Bacasper.

Stevie's post was on-topic.

So was Bacasper's.

You moved it to the particularly vile insinuation that people who aren't down with your tasing-cuffed-people version of law-and-order are by default pro-pedophilia.

Nice one.

Has there been any photograph of the girl yet? There is mention of a bonding she feels to-wards the guy. Only natural I suppose, but very sad none the less. I'm trying to figure out what went on in the compound until she was aged 14 when she became pregnant. That's three years after she was abducted. Elvis married Lisa Marie when she was 14.

Any comparison between what the child went through and the Stockholm Syndrome.

Didn't something like this happen in Utah a while back. A young girl was absconded with by some fundamentalist mormon polygymists. Some alert policeman saw her walking down the street with her captors, and nabbed them. I know that the media did follow up on her after she was reunited with her family. Saw a photo of her at some college function on Yahoo news. It would be kinda tough to know that everywhere you went people would be talking about you. Everyone would have probably stood up and looked if she happened to pass by.

I checked out the news on the person who wqs abducted, and there is a lot of references to the Stockholm Syndrome and this particular case. It's a defense mechanisim along with all the others such as projecticon,denial,sublimation,repression,displacement,rationalization,intellectualization, displacement,disociation and so on.

The stockholm syndrome is the bonding of a prisoner to a captor, because of time spent with the individual, because the captor exercises power, and because a little bit of care, and concern was shown to-wards the prisoner.
Over a period of time the bonding increases maybe because the prisoner hangs onto any human attachment available for the sake of keeping his or her sanity.

The other defense mechanisim that comes into play is dissociation. It's when a person loses track of time and or themselves, and instead finds another representation of their self in order to continue in the moment. A person who disociates often loses track of time or themelves and their usual thought processes and memories. People who dissociate often have a disconnected view of themselves in their world. Time and their own self image may not flow continuously, as it does for most people. In this manner a person who dissociates can disconnect from the real world for a time and live in a diferent world that is not cluttered with thoughts feelings or memories that are unbearable. Some individuals form multiple personalities as bbyproduct of using this defense mechanisim.
