Forgive the late answer, but it seems to me that the way "though" this dense tanglefoot is calling on the truth of the situation -- by which i mean, any time you can get the truth stated and communicated in such a way that it penetrates the clouds of various forms of denial in play, you make big points. Anytime you can kill the noise by injecting a statement of truth you gain karma, big time, and more important you bring the other participants a widdle bit closer to saying yes to what the real game is, instead of blustering through with pretense. At the very worst, if you name the situation truthfully and they cannot face it, at least you get expelled for all the right reasons!
