But it is--speaking of verbal Akido -- no less an attack just because Dayli quotes them without attribution, because most folks here know who says what.
Good insight, Amos. Ooooo I just wanna haul off and slug you one for that! ;-)
While I posted those remarks as the most recent example of a situation that could have been avoided by practicing verbal Aikido, I suppose it could be a form of "attack" too. Emotions are still fresh.
*sigh*
In that case, it would probably be best just to delete the series of remarks from my first post, as well as the one sentence preceeding them. I was hoping to put out some useful ideas and generate some dialogue here, not to instigate another slugfest.
So please, ye Joe Clones, I hereby request the stated deletion.
Maybe it is not the authors inherent nastiness, as Daylia would like us to infer; maybe it's what used to be called a personal;ity conflict, two incompatible ways of being.
Personality conflict, maybe. I think compatability is largely dependent on perception and effort - so I'm not giving up hope.
