First, so much for the claim that I am on your killfile! ;-)

Second, my reading comprehension is fine. You said that your
parents spanked you when you were a child, did you not? If that
is the case, then you can certainly response if you feel that
your parents treated you worse than a dog. For that it what
your post seem to imply about spanking parents.

Third, as for the reseach, you claimed to have posted "numerous
times" research where the non-cp alternatives are better than
spanking under the same circumstances. Here is your chance
to prove that you are not a liar. I posted citations from
Gershoff, Baumrind & Larzelere where they said they can't find
such thing. Either you put up or shut up!

Doan,

I assume you are a literate person with reading comprehension skills.
Where in my email did I say anything about my parents? As you so often
do, you totally missed the point of the posing.

I skimmed your posting history, and it appears that you actually may
experience difficulties with reading comprehension. So often your
responses have nothing to do with the posts to which you attempt to be
responding. Your posts regarding research are so far from the actual
research results that I again question your ability to comprehend
written language.

This is nothing cause shame. Many intelligent adults experience similar
difficulties. Often these adults were not diagnosed and experienced no
intervention when they were children.

If you feel you have a learning disability (a reading comprehension
difficulty falls in this category) there are places to go for help.

I keep wondering why people insist on hitting, hurting, and shaming
children in the name of discipline. Children have so much more
cognitive potential that dogs. Yet we provide dogs more protection that
children, and it is so much easier for some individuals to raise and
train a dog in an effective and humane way that it is for these same
individuals to positively parent a human child.


So you feel that your parents treated you worse than a dog???
