> to be honest, I find lou's post actually a little bit scary.. the deliberate choice of a very developed, but mechanically applied vocabulary while not showing the slightest signs of empathy or "feelings".. to me, it comes across quite frightening..
I'm sorry you felt frightened, and I'm aware that English may not be your first language, but it's my policy to remind you not to post anything that could lead others to feel accused or put down.
Please don't take this personally, this doesn't mean I don't like you or think you're a bad person, and I'm sorry if this hurts you.
Lou, I'm also sorry if you felt hurt.
More information about posting policies and tips on alternative ways to express oneself, including a link to a nice post by Dinah on I-statements, are in the FAQ:

http://www.dr-bob.org/babble/faq.html#enforceFollow-ups regarding these issues should be redirected to Psycho-Babble Administration. They, as well as replies to the above post, should of course themselves be civil.
Thanks,
