> I don't know what you're talking about. Please do not use a therapeutic tone with me. I am not striving to use shields defined by you and certainly not to get a back pat. Yuk. What has happened to your appropriate boundaries here? This is a message board, not the therapy space and it is CREEPY when you sound like you are acting as a therapist to me. Please stop it.

I didn't mean to creep you out, sorry. I understand you're not looking to me for guidance or trying to please me.

And I know this isn't therapy. I'm thinking about the board, not about you. I can't know what's best for you. Would it be less creepy if you thought of me as a cop who pat you on the back for not speeding? I didn't think it was inappropriate to recognize you for responding in a civil way.

> It didn't get to me, you say? Shows how very, very little you understand anything about any of this if you believe that for a minute.

That's a good point. I apologize. All I knew is that you responded in a civil way. I didn't know what the experience was like for you. It may have really disturbed you.

> However, can you not see ... how it IS quite the put down to be told another person can easily see how some Islamic person somewhere would see former deputies here as deserving of a fatwa for their "crimes?"

I do see that it could be taken that way. I also see that it could be taken as a hypothetical scenario of low probability.
