I'm glad you found some value in what I posted.

If your post had stopped at how you were affected, I wouldn't have raised the issue about how your post impacted me. Your post was also about GTGT's "honest motivations" and your questioning of her intentions. It made me feel like anyone who posted there would have to answer to you about what they "really" meant, and prove that it wasn't just passive-aggressive commentary on what they didn't like on this forum. This is what makes that thread feel unsafe to me.

I appreciate your feedback. My T says that when we are open and eager about learning more about ourselves, we learn to pick out the useful kernels even if it's delivered in unhealthy ways. I'm not sure I know of a better way yet.
I certainly don't expect anyone to answer to me or to clarify what they meant in their posts. I wonder, though, if your reaction is shared by others. That may be helpful for us - to try to differentiate what yours and what's mine - and see where the work lies. Perhaps if I just shared my perception and how I felt about it, it might have been received by you differently. It's certainly something I will look at.

Ouch. That feels like a shot directly at me.

It was not a shot directly at you. Not by a long shot.
