Minnie, someone wrote to you that:
> It is hard to learn to take responsibility for ones own emotional responses. And one will get blocked if one blames others for them.
>It might be especially hard to learn that in an environment where one is expected to own their own emotional responses and the theoretical emotional responses of any hypothetical person who might "be made to feel put down". Some perfectly reasonable people might feel it is contradictory that they are held responsible for what others might feel but they cannot hold others resposible, even in part, for what they do feel.
While some reasonable people apparently find the guidelines to be reasonable, other reasonable people apparently do not. Whether the people considering the guidelines are reasonable or not might not be the determining factor in whether the guidelines are reasonable, or for that matter, what reason the guidelines might be intended to serve.
