i believe that honesty is much more becoming . . . and attractive . . .
I’ve been pretty clear about my language choices. The above was not one of them.
But far be it from me to hinder a Jr Shrink theory building.
Is that some bait or WHAT?
What would follow if I were to be suckered by the attack on my recall would be that I would spend a long time finding the relevant posts - affirming the need to control. ("I can make him spend time slogging through posts.") Then I would post the relevant quotes and either be chastised for dragging in something from another thread or be met with a preposterous interpretation of the remark.
Soon we will get some sort of hands-in-the-pocket-and whistling denial of anxiety and further expression of contempt for our observations.
Note how the symptomatic folks are clustering together.
