I am very self aware. I am hostile (as in I take positions against) to ideas. There are LOTS of people I don't like- but I don't care enough about them to be hostile- it's a matter of degree. Perhaps you mistake honesty for hostility. It isn't hostile to dislike people who are completely unappealing to you. If you (who I don't like) or Rambi (who I do) advanced the same idea- I wouldn't disagree with you and agree with her. I might ignore you, seeing no need to discuss something I already agreed with with someone I don't like, but I might do the same to her merely because I might think chiming in would be repetitive. I would disagree with both of you if either of you advanced an idea I perceived as silly. I might worry about Rambi's feelings and I wouldn't worry about yours- but that is hardly hostile, it's merely not going out of my way for people I don't care about. People aren't worth the waste of time. I TRIED to get this across to Lorrie- but it seems to be a foreign idea here. Ideas aren't personal- they are just, ideas. I really think you need to take this discussion up with some of your friends, who are, in fact, hostile. Perhaps long association with such people has confused you.
