That's a good way to put it, Dinah. Thanks for clarifying this. It's how I feel, too. My not giving a hoot about any potential consequences of my post, and by that I mean administrative action, is about my own personal reaction, not about the board or policies in general. I'm enjoying feeling increased freedom to choose my actions and accept the consequences without the burden of interpreting said consequences in ways that injure or otherwise adversely affect my sense of self. I guess you could say I'm enjoying having a stronger ego, one less sensitive to external input and more resilient.
So it's not that I would discount or invalidate any consequences should they present, but rather it's that I don't attach the meaning to them (in theory) that I used to.
Boy, this is a hard state to describe. No wonder my T isn't quite getting it either.
