>I simply said that dialogue in a meaningful way requires trust on some level. And I disagree that it is somehow courageous and virtuous to go out of your way to dismiss someone's feelings of loss toward their children leaving the nest, then use it as an opportunity to toss darts at someone you find "Icky". How that equates to forcing anyone to roll around on some emotional tampon is truly bizarre. I simply call it common decency. < Let's take this point by point. One- it does not take much trust to have a meaningful dialog. I've had meaningful dialogs with Terrence and CH and you and Neocon and I don't trust any of you- at all. Unless you are using "meaningful" in some weird feelings laden way. Two- rolling around on a tampon really isn't the metaphor. The metaphor is that "improper" emotions must be stuffed (because they violate "common decency" according to YOU). Well whose being emotional really? We all should be warm and fuzzy and supportive even if we don't want to be- or we should be quiet? That is what you are saying. You are saying it violates common decency to have the "feelings" I have and to express them . Did I say anything THAT extreme? Just for the record I didn't find anything that went on here to violate "common decency". And I certainly never said anything like that. But you- boy oh boy- you better let us all know those rules for common decency so we don't step out of line again.
