Corruption in Alberta, Canada, 'Mafia' or someone else...

The issue, as TA said, seems to be incorrect date formatting.

[BrettA]

Brett, I was a psychiatric social worker for part of my career. I have experience of working with people whose thinking becomes disordered. I would suggest from you posts (limited evidence I am aware) that this may be the case with your good self. Give it some thought if you can.

Oh, I have given some thought to that, Rum. And talked it over with people... hence "Irrefutable evidence trumps paranoia:.

And even if it was partly or mainly me, that doesn't explain things like this morning's:

[Thinking Aloud]

Brett - just looked at your UA screenshot. Your date format (the part of your details that show an error in red) is entered DD/MM/YYYY - if it's UA, they may require MM/DD/YYYY. Have you checked that?

Any luck?

[BrettA]

Nor does it explain deletion of a similar thread to this on their forum:

Sorry, but I missed this one, TA. I tried both when the ticket agent was there (unusually, there were no online formatting 'hints'), which was why he reported it as a problem and also manually booked the ticket. As noted, he'd never seen this before. But a good thought, TA - thx!

Cheers, Brett Aubrey.

Nor does it explain a whole host (gotta love that term ;-) ) of other related events.

I don't know if I have this right, but it seems you got the run around at a couple airports, turned away a few underage models and was unable to report their 'agency' to the RCMP? I'm not entirely sure as trying to surmise the sequence of events from your one-sided correspondence is somewhat difficult.

Glad to see you posting here again anyway and good luck.

Indeed, it also doesn't explain earlier thread deletions on SAOC.ca's forum, as per the bottom line, here:

Nah... you don't have it right, but please make it as multi-sided as you want. In fact, involve yourself as I hear apathy kills the soul (whatever that is). And thanks!

Cheers, Brett :-) (really "George Brett Aubrey" but it's only govenrnment agencies who seem to care about the "George").

I just thought it might help you to put down the sequence of events as you perceive them - if you want. Sometimes I find that helps.

PS. Soul doesn't mean anything metaphysical. I use it as shorthand for something like 'sharpness of mind and force of personality'.

[BrettA]

Actually, the above screen shot was from "SAOC-Central.com" and their related forum. Here's more to that bottom line noted above:

It's from the Submariner's Association Of Canada, and the "Central" generally excludes both east and west coasts (not an official 'exclusion', though). And the posts deleted were very much related to what's going on now.

LOL... Of course I know about your use of 'soul' and indeed did have more3 of a sequence in several of the deleted SAOC posts noted just above.

Rum, I have never been happier to read your contribution.

Bear with me a moment, but if there is a possibility that BrettA is experiencing disordered thinking, is it not also saying that there are other possibilities?

I see it a few possible ways:
1. BrettA is correct - his efforts are being impeded by organized crime.
2. Rum is correct - BrettA is experiencing disordered thinking.
3. Both are correct - most complicated and unsettling to consider
4. Neither are correct - ???

Now, since you will be accustomed to helping find a suitable intervention, can you help me find some interventions which would be common to all four imagined situations?

BrettA: I think one good step would be to document as you have been doing, but it could do real harm if it turns out #2 is the way things shake out. I trust 'no shenanigans' here at rationalia, but it couldn't hurt to mirror everything over at Mindromp, too...(if 1, 3 or 4 are correct, complicating matters for any opposition seems reasonable to me)

Now, how can you tell you aren't experiencing disordered thinking? I can doubt Rum handily by referring him to the Rosenhan experiment, but that simply tempers his first guess, certainly doesn't dismiss it.

I guess, BrettA, I am asking how can we have your sanity 'vetted'? In the meantime, what evidence could convince you that you are wrong about these things?

Knowing what you do about computers and networks, I am a bit surprised at how vague your unease was...

In any case, be well and keep making efforts toward clarity.

[BrettA]

Hey, Darren... Thanks and I trust you got my Skype. And I'm fine with whatever you'd like to try. For a start, I'd appreciate a few words around your: "I am a bit surprised at how vague your unease was...". TIA.

As to what evidence could convince me, a good start would be to explain the screen shots indicating what I view as being 'issues', starting with the United Air shot. But only a start. Again, thanks.
