Mention of Freud leaves me wondering if that post was a return to your being deliberately . . . harshly ornery about me again . . . that’s perhaps largely contingent on my feelings about Freud.
Return with me to the golden days of yesteryear when a patient, as Freud relates somewhere, tried to give him a hug after a session. He says he rebuked her and then he thought about it. As I in my autodidactic ignorance think, that's when he developed the notion of transference.
So when you said you wanted to give the RM a bear hug, the primary processes kicked in and that incident came to my alleged mind. And because you are a professional, I thought you would be (a) amused and (b) stimulated to thought about the wonder of cyber-communications (and the images we impose on our correspondents), feelings about authority figures, and all like that there.
That's pretty much it.
