Any Madist who truly and consistently knows his Mad, should be able to easily pick up on where anyone is coming from - without having to ask them.
Or as the first Madist put it...
1 Corinthians 2:15 But he that is spiritual judgeth all things, yet he himself is judged of no man. 2:16 For who hath known the mind of the Lord, that he may instruct him? But we have the mind of Christ.
Does the Mad have the mind of Christ in Romans thru Philemon, or does he or she not?
We know all other TOLers do not.
Which is why they remain so clueless in their attempted judgement (discerment) of Mad.
What remains for the well grounded Mad, is, to paraphrase "Charlie" - "an intuitive synthesis of established Mid-Acts principles..."
