I had a momentary flashback to the "Dianah" stuff which caused me distress in my already raw state, but other than that, it didn't particularly bother me until you appeared to find find it unworthy of comment or action.
Tis weird, Dr. Bob.
I think I let stuff roll off my back easier if I feel assured that you will deal with it appropriately. Protect us as it were.
But it's like with posts that I find uncivil that you let stand. I get mad because I have every expectation that you will protect us, or me, and I am more angry that you don't than I am about what it is I expect you to protect us, or me, from.
Because you're important enough to me to have the power to make me angry. And I don't give that power easily. (Aren't you appropriately touched?) Or take it back easily.
Anything in the book about that?
Because it isn't terribly pleasant to experience.
And I've experienced it often enough that I would really rather it stop.
