-- Re: Overbearing need to be right/Ilanar

If it is not clear that I'm saying I do not find a particular [negative]

attitude attractive [while not specifically attributing it to anyone;

and more specifically NOT attributing it to the recipient of my post]

then perhaps I need to speak [type] in more simple terms. But as I try

[not always successfully] to be accurate in my communication that may be

difficult for me.

It is also probably clear to the more astute members of the group that

it is probably far more likely that I personally suffer from the

negative attitude that Venizia thought I was applying to her than that

she would suffer from that negative attitude. But it's a lot easier to

see negative traits in others than in myself.

I like ' posts because I need to take my time when reading them.

He is very articulate actually. Makes me use my brain...kind of

difficult though when I have brain fog.
