I really don't know what to say in response. I don't share the view of such a dichotomy between those two positions. I just haven't seen it as two different and opposed approaches so that is not what I was talking about. And so I can't answer your question.

Projection you could claim is hard to detect, especially in writing, but it is actually relatively obvious when it does happen. And I don't necessarily want to be judgmental about it. People here have "issues" so projections are going to happen. In fact they happen at a minute level all the time. It's when it becomes rigid and fixed that I begin to feel somewhat alarmed. There are rules here about not being judgmental so a projection that might sound like "advice" might actually be judgmentalism in disguise.

I should probably add that I feel this issue has been addressed, at least my concerns have. And I learned a thing or two so I'm not sure if we should continue to debate it. I don't mind but I'm not sure about others.
