Now, Angel-Gal,

mind reading is an old subversive hobby, habit, activity hereon. I wouldn't be too alarmed that the RM can't get around to it all ASAP and snuff it ALL out. I'm sure he's as diligent as he can manage.

And, I don't even know that I'm always aware of when I might be doing it.

Though I do think that example was a bit . . . overtly startlingly clear. LOL.

"YOU ARE FOLLOWING THE TRADITION OF . . . "

What is so difficult about taking the personal pronouns out of such? If I can do it at my age, anyone can learn to do it. imho, of course.

At least we should be able to say something like:

"It appears to me that the position stated is following in the same or a similar tradition to . . . "

But emphatic all knowing mind reading is . . . imho, more than a little cheeky, in addition to the forum rule part.

I'm actually a pretty good mind reader--in counseling and a lot of situations, by God's Grace. But I'm far from perfect. And on such a text based forum without eye contact, nonverbal cues etc. . . . the notion of successful mind reading is ludicrous.

my 1.5 cents.
