I was trying to respond to questions. Sorry I re-opened the wound.
In retrospect, I do think I shouldn't have let it go. The main points may have been OK -- memories can be a mixture of real and filled-in, the quest for knowing "why" can be a distraction, you should feel good about yourself -- but there were problems with exactly how that was expressed. "Delusions" has the wrong connotations, and "undisciplined", "impulsive", and "grumbling" certainly could lead someone to feel accused or put down. Sorry about that.
> I refuse to be shackled by the imperatives of others telling me what I should do in order to be cured in an instant. I refused to accept the blaming ... words of others. I refuse to accept overgeneralizations and people who don't know me jumping to conclusions about me.
Good!
> I feel sorry for those you refuse to enforce that rule for because they have to be be the recipient of such a "supportive" post before they can invoke the rule.
Well, the thing is, they won't necessarily receive a post like that...
