WRONG! "You" "imagined" "you" "felt" "an emotion". But "you" didn't. "You" only "imagined" that!

This post is brought to you by a keyboard.

I peeked at that Other Thread. I have contacted Jeff and demanded that all posters there be permanently consigned here:

and where is EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!

E is out with a lantern wandering the entire planet looking for a 3D person who does not censor their expressed thoughts (and their unexpressed ones! Remember Denial! Remember Repression!) quite routinely.

Last night after the dinner I mentioned earlier, had I not censored my thoughts I would have said to the guys who'd taken us out, "I don't know why we're here, but I do know it wasn't to talk about what you said you wanted to talk about, because you showed no interest in the subject. I think you are politically correct ideologues, and I do hope your plans never come to fruition."

But that would have been a bad idea for a number of reasons, and impolite, too, to our hosts.

If I hadn't censored my thoughts when talking to a 3D friend on the phone today, I would have said, "I'm tired of hearing you say your children hardly ever watch television, and I agree with your dreadful mother-in-law who thinks they watch too much, because I know they are saturated with TV, because I know your children."

That would have ended our friendship and accomplished nothing. She needs to deny to herself how much TV her children watch because she's overwhelmed by life and needs TV as a babysitter.

So I censored my thoughts.

As does everyone, all the time.

(Yep, I peeked in at BB, I admit it.)
