Well said runderwo.
Both of Samplemans replies serve to prove your bold point about paranoia..
You again appear to be having problems with word definitions. Paranoia isn't a synonym of fear. It certainly isn't a synonym for prudence. You are arguing that a person who avoids a rabid pit bull is paranoid, because he hasn't actually been bitten. You are really starting to crack me up (no pun intended).
Whatchya got beyond "hypocrisy" and "Paranoia"? With enough time I might be able to correct all of your vocabulary problems.
