This phrase, 'let them in', in my whole epic poem here!, was the one expression I felt the worst about, the one that felt most like jargon, least like me, the one that I should have edited out, except that I never edit, except for the occasional typo. Did that make it the safest for you? It's like the rest of my post is in a huge blindspot.

I realize this is the 2nd time in 2 days I am "complaining" that the OP seems to not be reading my post. I'm sure I have an overinflated opinion of myself. And yes a lot of times my posts are just bs. But sometimes the response from an OP is SO not what you expect, that you kinda hafta ask, is this resistance, or did you just lightly skim-read my post? Again, composing replies helps me integrate my stuff, so I REALLY appreciate everything OPs do in putting stuff out there, as I seem to be functionally incapable of OP'ing.
