I see.
Cognitive gymnastics.
I just didn't do the requisite cognitive gymnastics...
Hypocracy...
I guess teh trouble is when one is used to conversing with people who understand the difference between critiquing a policy and criticising a person...
And Bob.
I mean... no babblers took it personally (that I'm aware of)
Seems you and Clearskies thought I didn't do the relevant cognitive gymnastics
(were either of you feeling personally criticised?)
what is the point of the relevant cognitive gymnastics?
to prevent people taking it personally...
did anyone take it personally?
then consider an academic context...
would anyone take it personally?
i forget different standards apply to the mentally ill.
not in practice (babblers were offended)...
but in principle (babblers might feel offended)...
In principle in babbleland
according to dr bobinteresting...
and then lets just say auntiemel said 'i feel a little offended at your having called a policy i believe in hypocritical'
then think about me. as a poster. think about me.
would i have apologised and tried to make peace or not?
isn't it only the latter that deserves to be blocked?
