Lex,
I can see that you have a lot to say. I can also see that you become
defensive and accusatory quite quickly.
Why is that?
No, you don’t have to answer that rhetorical question. Just as I’m guessing that you don’t
really want me to answer your question, “So what sets me apart from an
****?” That question is inflammatory
and seeks to incite reaction.
I’m not having a hard time with what you’re saying. The difficult time I’m having is the
tone with which you say it. This
“tone”—one you’ve been addressed with in the past—is what makes what you’re
saying difficult to hear.
The “tiresome sniping”—could what prompts others' comments
conceivably be something for you to look at in yourself?
And this last comment—“How arrogant, you think yourself so
special”— you know projection as well as I do, I’m sure. Consider that you’re projecting.
My post was not intended to persuade or to convince you of
my perspective. It was meant to
‘speak aloud’ the under current in
some of your posts in this thread that override the content of what you’re
saying.
