Moreover, the discussion is nearly always one sided. We have no idea how strongly you feel about an idea, or what your thoughts are about the benefits.
You use a very shrinky approach to those discussions. Which may be useful if you wish to encourage transference reactions (I can't imagine why you would), but is perhaps less useful in nonclinical settings. As much as you use your professional training in running Babble, a discussion of babble policies needs to be a bit more two sided than a therapy session.
I think that may be why I was less angry with you after the New Orleans trip. In person you may be every bit as attached to your ideas (what a nice way I found to describe that - I hope you appreciate it). But you were far more conversational in your style. Maybe you could bring a bit of that to Babble? I think if more people had the experience of speaking with you in person, they'd feel less frustrated.
