I'm sorry, but your own arguments don't appear to be internally consistent to me. Perhaps I'm not understanding correctly and someone can explain.

You didn't reply to my example of changing "F*ck you" to "Bless you".

I really shouldn't be commenting this much. My therapist made me promise I wouldn't interact with you for a while. And honestly, while I have much to say to a lot of what you wrote, my head is already sore from bashing against a wall. I find it very upsetting that you refer to my distress at being upset about change, and tell me that change can be for the better. I feel dismissed, although perhaps you didn't mean it that way. I have familiarity with this from elsewhere and I have always felt very strongly about this particular aspect of Babble as being a core reason of why I posted here and not elsewhere. I really don't feel you're listening to me if you say that I'm afraid of change. And I'm hard pressed to wish to continue this conversation.
