: : But this is only in my head and on this board. I don't take it beyond here. If it really bothers people I'll quit.
: Don't quit. I have no problem with the exploration of these things, as you know.
: Your post to which I responded referred to the "magical environment" we have "constructed" and seemed to devalue to a great degree the increased potential for honesty and understanding in this new gathering. To this I responded, as the father of a newborn might respond if he heard someone criticizing his baby's potential as being no better than the juvenile delinquent growing up down the street. "Then go down the street and criticize the delinquent, if you must," I would say, "and let me nurture my baby in peace." ;-)
I think the baby just needs to be burped. : P
