Of course they still have value! Everything you guys said is insightful and valuable. And Dr. Bob could have still chosen to use some other words, knowing **he** was now using the mega-triggery word 'love', not a poster, and so it would carry a different...flavor? At least I guess he knows this....
I was just saying I recall Dr. Bob doing this quite a few times before and so I am sorta desensitized to a lot of my own placing of meaning on his choice of words. I come from a different place reading Dr. Bob's posts the minute I see him using verbatim quotes.
In fact, sometimes when Bob 'parrots' back phrasing and turns it into his own questions for us, statements...whatever, sometimes I feel pretty irritated. I doubt he realizes this or has this intention but it *sounds** a bit mocking at times. Interpretation, for sure as I do not believe Dr. Bob mocks anyone here. I think maybe just hearing words back (this well may be me projecting as I HATE anyone - and never allow a T to do this - reading back my own words to me....it's mortifying)in and of itself sets me off.
I, too, appreciate Dr. Bob's efforts. All this is really complicated stuff, IMO.
