Concerning my post to Robin: I wrote that myself after appt with pastoral counselor. Concerning my post to RD: I used the word stress the way that TMers often do. Maybe that's why it seemed the way it did to you. I agree that rigorous honesty is an essential part of human development. Yes, different people have different senses of humor.
Yes, sometimes I miss the bigger picture. A couple of times Robin called meruD she but another long term poster corrected him. Even if a she, meruD can still be the Janitor Poet of FFL High. Male or female, meruD inspired a crush in me that lead to a lot of growth. I remain grateful.
