PartlyCloudy, you have the freedom of mind to read anything you choose in any way you choose - even when the author states that your interpretation of his words contradicts his intended meaning.
PC wants to make a case of some sort.
Hey, PC... just exactly what is the case are you trying to make? Perhaps I will agree with it.
Me? I am trying to make the case that you are wrong in your interpretation of my words. They were meant to be affirming of your feelings that you sensed a lack of safety on Psycho-Babble. Ironic, isn't it?
* This is how it happened. There really wasn't much to it.

PC:
but, go ahead. Believe you are different, and special. It's a grand illusion.
--------------------------------------
SLS:
How do you define the word "special". I really don't understand your usage of this word.
----------------------------------------
PC:
Special means we don't need to be treated differently. We are genetically the same just about, to all the other people on this earth. It means that I gain nothing to be thought of as special, or to think of myself as special. I am a human.
---------------------------------------
SLS:
You are in an interesting place.
--------------------------------------
PC:
I think I need to feel part of something. The human race is a start. A support circle of like minded women (IRL) is another. This place used to be a place I felt safe. Now I am ready to bolt. But I think, unless provoked, I will just go quiet.
------------------------------------
SLS:
You sound very angry. I'm sorry that you feel Psycho-Babble is no longer a safe place to be. You are probably right.
---------------------------------------------
PC:
Gee, thanks for the vote of confidence.
You know where you can put it, I think.
Good bye!-------------------------------------------
