I might make more sense to myself than to others. :)
I spent the night before my "W" post listening to one of Marsha Linehan's videos.

(Sorry, Dr. Bob. It's sold directly, not through Amazon.)
One of the things on the video was separating facts from interpretations and judgments. And how it wasn't a question of right or wrong, just of better outcomes. You know how I love pragmatics. At any rate, it seemed to fit with this topic, so perhaps I spoke as if everyone had seen the video the night before. If so, I apologize.
I do like these discussions, I guess. I don't think of them as sociology so much as my habitual interest in the question of "why". As well as an indoctrination from my therapist who always points out that the only person I can change in any given interaction is myself. He always keeps that in mind when I talk about Babble, and focuses on how things like my expectations and interpretations influence my outcome here.
Of course, Dr. Bob isn't a therapist. But I suppose he does have an interest in people having better experiences here.
