He didn't tell me to do that today, but said today that in the future, he may need to tell me to "back off." I asked what would lead to his doing that, and he said how if it seemed to be an issue in terms of ethics and how he practices. Which, what? Isn't it on him to uphold the ethics?
An example he gave before was if I were to say "I love you" every time I left (because I shared what a client posted on here ages ago related to that), that would be an issue. I said at the time (a couple weeks ago), "I haven't done that and don't intend to. And I initially told you this 4 years ago and haven't done that since, so I'm not sure why you're concerned about that."
I also asked him what was so threatening or scary about me expressing this to him. He didn't seem to have an answer for that.
