Not an awful lot.
It's one of those things that I'm intrinsically suspicious of, but I don't have any evidence it's horseshit. But since it's impossible to prove it works either, I'm "on the fence"

(, Fri 16 Aug 2013, 10:06, Reply)
I think it's also practiced by actual medically qualified people too.
That's why it's hard to pigeonhole - it appeals to both the woo and the actual medical communities to some degree or other.
(, Fri 16 Aug 2013, 10:08, Reply)
A lot of medically qualified people are idiots as well.
We often get GPs directing patients towards the snake oil we sell.
I suppose it's possible they just want them to fuck off and stop bothering them, mind.
(, Fri 16 Aug 2013, 10:12, Reply)
Oh, absolutely.
The problem I think with NLP is that it roots in psychology/psychotherapy and the medical community are at least obliged to consider that a serious medical science, when it's at least partially sociology. The rules aren't the same. So it absolutely as Winders says - if it makes people feel better than fine, because that's the point of psychotherapy. But spiritual mediums make some stupid people feel better, and that's very far from OK, so the line is hard to draw.
(, Fri 16 Aug 2013, 10:17, Reply)
I guess the problem is that it's not sciencey enough to be regulated,
So idiots are given carte blanche to be idiots.
(, Fri 16 Aug 2013, 10:19, Reply)
That's a pretty succint way of putting it.
Also, its very nature of "working" means that there's no scientific way of proving it can or can't work, and there probably never will be. Unlike, say, homeopathy.
(, Fri 16 Aug 2013, 10:24, Reply)
Even with bollocks like homeopathy, if you stretch your definition of 'working' to include 'not bothering your GP with your constant hypochondriac whining', then maybe it has some tiny worth.

(, Fri 16 Aug 2013, 10:28, Reply)
That's an interesting point
there's a balance, obviously, because then when said whining hypo actually has something really wrong they may go to to the woo pedaller first, but that is an advantage I'd not thought of.
(, Fri 16 Aug 2013, 10:33, Reply)
I had a boss who was a huge lover of NLP,
Taught me some bits and pieces, and it seems fairly effective. But like badge says, it may well be horseshit, but if you believe it, and gives you confidence, that's always gonna help. Confidence is key.

why is it any harsher than al drawing pics of my mother's corpse getting fucked from behind, or AA getting shit for killing his mother by being an emo? if he hadn't whined about it on here, nobody would know.

it would be completely different if someone had ripped pics or posts off his private fb account. stuff that hasn't been shared on here by the person themselves is not ok. but if you put it on here, it's b3ta ffs, people will comment on it, and it won't be fluffy.

I think people are reading a lot more upset into Chompy since he posted that remark than he has actually demonstrated.
I didn't really understand his explanation for ignoring Krones, but the gist seemed to be 'to get at swipe' rather than M. Bourg.

He's big enough and ugly enough to understand the consequences of such posts, anyway.
(, Fri 16 Aug 2013, 10:15, Reply)
It's not any harsher
both of those were shit things to do as well.

It's not people commenting on it. That's entirely fair game. It's people going on and on about it for, oh, 3 days at my last count.

But that's only my opinion. It's not against the rules or owt

it's because there is nothing else to talk about

(, Fri 16 Aug 2013, 10:16, Reply)
I'm not really arsed about making a big thing out of this sort of stuff.
But I have said before - if anything goes here then people will just fuck off. This is exactly the way /talk went, and if you look at how many people have left here in the last couple of years - they've only been replaced by /talkers. Which is fine, that's where I came from - but what happens when they leave too?

Yeah, people are over-sensitive. That's because they are people. But unless you lay down some kind of subconscious level of what's OK, in a year or two this place will just be Frank talking to himself.
