I just want to say one more time that intense narrow focus on a possible EA is very counterproductive. The possible EA is not the source of the problems in your M
absolutely True and Mostly True.
After the A has been exposed for what it is, and not pushed under the carpet, then you start working on your side of the problem, while as -ifing. You matter of factly point right at it and call it what it is. Then you ignore it. And do what you want to do, because its what you want to do, NOT to get a reaction.
