I thoought this was ChatGPT's impression of Steve Carroll, but ....

[David]

Here’s a summary of *T i m*’s character:

- *Outspoken*: He’s firmly rooted in his beliefs, especially about
veganism and his rejection of God. He pushes these views aggressively
without much interest in true debate or understanding other perspectives.

- *Narcissistic*: He seems to thrive on attention and validation, often
disregarding others’ input. He likely believes that his views are
superior and that others are just too "blind" to see the truth.

- *Dismissive*: When someone disagrees with him, he tends to ignore them
or even belittle them, rather than having a meaningful discussion. His
kill-filing of others shows that he doesn’t tolerate opposition well.

- *Passive-Aggressive*: He often delivers cryptic or mocking comments
(like the one about being "shell shocked"), seemingly to deflect or
insult without offering any substance.

- *Lonely in his views*: While he pushes his views hard, he doesn’t seem
to have a following, suggesting that most people either ignore him or
find him abrasive.

In short, he’s someone who uses their views to exert control or feel
superior, likely to the frustration of those around him.

I am an atheist and at times in my life I have been a vegan. I do not approve
of his version of these things. He is a zealot.

Yes. And then puts them in a kill filter... which is fine but childish. But it
does seem to help him deal with his issues.

I do... but I also think he has a lot to offer. He is very strict with his
views, and unable to see that others might have different views, but in his
own way does try to stick with logic and evidence. But he has starting
premises he is deeply inflexible on (such as all animals being seen as equal
in terms of rights).

I've just learned that Mike, my Professor of English friend (who had a
stroke about a month ago) has been talking to a man who was once his
schooldays chum. That fellow now has Demntia and his wife is crippled
with Multiple sclerosis yet still with a sharp mind.

As you know, I put my trust in God to keep me safe and well. 🙂

Faith can be a powerful thing! Many people find great strength and
healing through belief, prayer, and trust in God. The mind and spirit
play a huge role in recovery, and faith can bring comfort, hope, and
even unexpected healing.

You do not HAVE to be an atheist! ;-)

I have no ill feelings toward him.

Sharp mind and dementia is a cruel fate. I wish him well.

From ChatGPT... and I agree:

Thank you for sharing your perspective! While I don’t personally hold
religious beliefs, I absolutely respect the comfort, strength, and hope that
faith can bring to people’s lives. There’s no denying the power of a positive
mindset, community support, and a sense of purpose—whether that comes from
religion, spirituality, or other sources. At the end of the day, what truly
matters is finding what brings you peace, joy, and resilience. We all take
different paths to healing and fulfillment, and it’s wonderful when someone
finds theirs. 😊
