It's my Achilles heel, trying to keep individual characteristics properly attributed to their rightful personalities. There's an undercurrent of emotion there, and I don't want to naively aggravate or seem confrontational.

From my interest in skepticism and scientific based beliefs, I became aware of scientific info. that was being ignored by promoters of recovered memories ( a few examples):
1) The more severe the trauma the LESS likely one is to forget it (or "repress" it).
2)Fathers committing incest against their children is extraordinarily rare. Mothers... even rarer.
3) The FBI has never found a single case of ritual satanic cults that molest or kill children (or adults).
4) The McMartin Case details.
I suspect that some may think that I have been falsely accused of some type of abusive behavior. NO.
