Bert, I love ya'...but I disagree. Even for me (in the real world) there is a fine line between activist and zealot. The surest way to piss me and a lot of others, possibly including Peter, is to come on as a zealot and tell me in no uncertain terms what I MUST do. That's complete nonsense, especially from one who doesn't know the audience they're speaking to...and the poster didn't. I appreciate your point Bert, but perhaps the poster's point could have been made with feeling and tact, even in question form maybe. But to immediately lecture me without any knowledge?

I react the same way out here in the real world. A few years ago, a 20ish and newly trained therapist had the first session with one of my foster kids. We had lived with her 24/7 and Karen and I were very experienced in the type of problems she was having. Without consulting us and what we had been doing to that point, without any real knowledge of the case, and with the idolatry and passion born of youth, said to me, "I don't think you understand the dynamic of what is happening here." Ask me if I went off on her?

I think this thread has served good purpose and I too would apologize to those which I have inadvertently offended, even in jest. But I will not apologize to that poster, nor will I apologize for reactions that I would carry out face to face. Love you all, but I too have some triggers and I try to control them. Believe me, I have pushed the "Clear Entries" button more than occasionally. I'll try to watch myself, but if you expect less than honesty, you'll be disappointed.
