Correct me if I'm wrong, Richard, but I am supposing that the psychiatrist remark was simply a way of saying that our comments on another person's life/work often says more about us than it says about them. This would apply to all comments, both supportive and critical. An interesting thought and point of introspection which I don't think is meant to imply someone
needs psychiatric help.
By the way, I think you are all fascinating and wonderful.
