Sorry Toph, for using brute force before reason. It probably seems intimidating and even a little bewildering, but I hope you can see I meant well. Now I just feel like a big clumsy oaf (even though I'm quite small), just like I usually do around decent people. I need to brush up my manners and be more considerate.
>I don't know if we've met before, Q, but I apologize if I've been cranky lately. Just when I think I've mastered civil discourse I get all sensitive about something. Sorry.
May I start again? I think I've seen your posting name a few times, but not often. I don't think we've been introduced. I've been a bit cranky lately too, so no worries about that - I thought you were just expressing healthy skepticism, and good judgment too. Then just when I thought I was getting enlightened I got over-excited and made a fool of myself in public - one of my main fears (social phobia), but I think that's on the wane. Anyway, did you read through the thread with the new sequence? If you did, did you notice a different... narrative?
I can't speak for Dr. Bob, but I am immensely grateful for the work he did here. I do believe he has the best interests of his babblers at heart, but sometimes he has a strange way of showing it. I empathize with that. I'm not exactly sure what's happening here, why it's happening, or what will happen next, but I'm sure it's not just my imagination, even though I do get carried away with myself at times.
I do perceive things differently to most people. And no, I'm not Dr. Bob in disguise, but in some ways we might be twins. Either Dr. bob is an A* psychiatrist, or he perceives the world in the same way I do, or maybe not, but I do think he's a brilliant psychiatrist, and with genuine compassion. I think I owe him an apology.
I don't know what else to say. I just hope I haven't frightened you away.
Best wishes,
Q
