I don't recall seeing all that many confessions of undying love on Babble. Am I missing something? >>
no. i don't think so. there are a few though which are real.
Most of my Babbling is done on the board, with very few people I email with. Perhaps that makes a difference.>>
i don't *think* that is the difference (though of course i have no idea who babblemails whom). it's a matter of temperaments.
my own temperament is highly cynical, cynical enough to try to shove my own biases out of the way on occasion because i see that they interfere with whatever ends i wish to pursue (for example, understanding those with utterly different belief systems).
IRL this has been seen as disheartening disloyalty.
but i do have to live with myself at the end of the day. anyway. trust is not something i give lightly, but then the compensating virtue (i suppose) is that i am seldom disappointed.
i should have wiped this message away, but one reaches a point.
