Sky, I completely agree with you.

I find it to be true that after you listen to someone or read them, you get a feel for how they think. You get to know their reactions, what helps and what is going to make someone angry or simply start an argument without basis... just because.

I think that lots of people don't respond to some problems because they really don't know how ... or they're deep in their mental illness and that doesn't let them understand, they can't concentrate on what's being said.

Oftentimes, I come here looking to be refuled and simply don't find it. Just recently I asked Admin to lock one of my threads because I could see an argument starting. I was simply stating my FEELINGS. *I* know that feelings aren't facts, but I was left wondering if those responding know that.

Something I'm unsure about, too, about ways of thinking. Seems to me there are a few that jump at the chance to start an argument. Never mind validating anyone else's thinking or feelings. It doesn't make anyone "better" or "worse"; "more" or "less" when they aren't cognitive of these things in them. They're just at a different level of their journey. No one has told them or life hasn't come up and slapped them in the face, like it has you and me, and made them realize these things. And then, of course, there's those that think they don't need to change.

My friend, I understand your need to carry some conversations further sometimes. I do, too. PC, although it's a great place, can't be our all-in-all. We need to look elsewhere sometimes.

I honor you and respect highly your opinions... for whatever that's worth. I don't have the knowledge and wisdom you do.
