I think 'treatment program' implies drug abuse. Thurber's description of Ricci on Jun 5 drinking beer and going 1000 MPH sounds like amphetamine to me.

And do you have intimate knowledge of how these drugs work? "Treatment program" can also mean alcohol. You use an awful lot of "I think" and "sounds like," which pretty much makes your posts less than credible.

Your opinion of my posts is irrelevant to me, I'm only interested in the opinions of the credible and honest posters.

I think people who are not afraid to say "I think" or "maybe" or "sounds like" or "apparently" are far more credible than people who shove their opinions down the throats of others, as though their opinions were facts--which they are NOT. People who are an authority on everything have little credibility. People who use "I think" instead of stating their opinions as though they were facts also protect themselves far better from DEFAMATION LAWSUITS. Think someone can't get the location and identifying info on an internet poster by subpoena? Think again. Were you and Freedox with Richard Ricci every moment of his parole, is that how you and Freedox know for sure that "the short answer is no," that he didn't use drugs? That is a bet I would take: Ricci used drugs while out on parole. (Oh, gee, whaddya know--can't get sued for "defaming" a dead person.)

Sherlock is merely indicatig the comment was his personal opinion - rather than posting an opinion as fact, which you are prone to do.
