EXCORIATING with THE CAMPBELL TECHNIQUE OR WHY WE GET ANGRY AND NASTY

Maybe this is the domain of psychologists: writing non-stop whatever comes to mind is uncensored writing. Assumptions and conclusions based on information or facts are already processed in the mind. No holds-barred session with the self the results of which surface in the form of a nasty comment and anger when you hit the ceiling or the person becomes violent and ill-tempered.Or it could be the journalist-blogger acting as a professional with his tools of gathering information--who, what, where, when, why, how--laying bare an incident without editorializing. Just the bare, cold bloody facts of the investigative reporter in the style of Malou Mangahas or the late Armando Malay of the university days. It is a great error to expect something in return to what you do to someone and he blows it.The bottom line: the honesty and integrity of writers. 
This was written starting at 5:17 in the morning in the style of Julia Campbell.
