Agreed. :-)

As a disclaimer... There have been many men and women who have found themselves having to play a complicit role in that which was ultimately harmful... to them. These actions of forced complicity may have played a significant role in their "disorder".

From this perspective, I see the role of "critic" as an empowering act; not only finding the legitimacy of one's own voice but speaking from it as a beneficial and compassionate action for "more than one". I hear many voices here and I'm not fond of silencing any of them.

Naturally, that doesn't mean it's easy to be in the hot seat.
