> Wow. I'm at a loss for words after reading this thread. I must be the only one who is completely missing all these supposedly arbitrary, biased, or thoughtless actions by the deputies.
Let's break it down again, then. Here, we are told "you're lucky to even get to talk about it at all.">>> I really don't understand how people can believe the things they're saying, when if what they were saying was true, how could the administrative board looks like it does right now?
Maybe you, greywolf, didn't grow up in a disfunctional abusive household and you enjoy the pleasant privilege of not having to recognize common patterns of oppression when you see them. For those of us educated in youth how to deploy these devices, they are as evident as the meaning of any other language. And if you suspect that the conflict that brings us to confront those patterns here extends far beyond this forum, you are absolutely right.That is why you see euphemism so shamelessly turned on those here who use it against us under some color of authority. We consider educating people how and why to confront officious euphemistic put-downs to be very supportive of those who have a chance of achieving some sort of healthy mental condition. Confronting the contagion is not nearly so threatening to those who know the full risk of the disease.
