Motorcycling and An Obsessive Compulsive Personality Disorder (OCPD)

See Forum Link here for: A Good OCPD Example and the ensuing discussion.

Perhaps a good example of OCPD – Obsessive Compulsive Personality Disorder: In this illustration I point out obvious conflicts that can and do appear in forum threads, but I also refer to the “standard” that is site rules. So the question arises is the argument valid to have a reasonable expectation when concrete examples can be provided and measured against rules?

The suggested qualification for disposing of a thread to Pointless Drivel is, that it may be done at the request of the thread originator to a Moderator for consideration. Or indeed by the Moderator if or when the originator may take the thread off topic. (Of which I have be guilty of – taking off topic, but pleased to say there indeed was a positive outcome in the real world.)

With Cognitive Behaviour Technique - CBT, awareness and long term practice, such OCPD episodes are kept in perspective: the time and moment are not over powering, and the significance measured and not left to burden. Life moves on, and like everything else it gives added meaning to an example of "Ride Your Own Ride". In this instance my OCPD thoughts are expressed and out there.

A couple of instances this week:

I reckon when a thread is started but then it degenerates, then the original poster can call for the whole thread entry to be sent to the crapper – Pointless Drivel PD.

There are good Forum themes eg Survival Skills and good topics raised. When the evidence is unequivocal that the topic is going off the rails or degenerates to personal insults then the thread originator has a free hand to bring the thread to Moderator’s attention directing immediate withdrawal and transfer posting to PD. The Moderator has no recourse but to accede.

Your twelve second thread started off as a riddle so not sure what responses you were expecting. Set yourself up as a preacher to people you don't know and you are going to receive criticism, and your thread may get hijacked. It's only the internet though, not worth crying to the teachers about it.

Succinct, accurate and honest. A good reality check for me.

All comments in the forum threads regarding the issues I have raised are acknowledged in the spirit in which they are presented. This KB website is a very useful facility, it provides me with the opportunity to read other people's opinions, and at times when away from the keyboard, to actually discuss those internal thoughts and feelings with clinicians.

In other words, instead of being the target, I have to often ask myself 'what are you targeting and why?'
