Fearless,

I am going to be daring and specifically state up front that this post is about your tactic of trying to discredit people personally (Burgbud and me most recently) when they have a disagreement with you about opinions on a subject. I do not know if you are aware that you do this or at least if you are aware that it comes across that way. Maybe there is another side to it or reason you do it but I cannot see it right now. I am offering this to you for information in case you do not purposely do it.

I think I did answer your question when I explained why I press questions as I do, but that was an indirect reply, so to be clear, let me say that I do NOT think I try to discredit others, as you say. Burgbud has an issue with me saying things in absolutes. He brought up the incident of last year. I looked into it, saw no basis for what he was saying, as said so. I thought his motives then were fishy but if you read a little further on that thread you will see that Heather said he was a friend to her and I accepted that. I still think his motives were fishy. I don’t really care one way or another, as that is between he and Heather, but that’s what I think.

As for you, I see little difference in what I was trying to do with you and your FOO and what Corri and others were trying to do with CAC. Corri saw something and was trying to explain/uncover/analyze what she saw. Either that “thing” with CAC did not exist and she was wrong in her suspicion or CAC could not see what she was driving at, or maybe a little of both.

I suspect he felt a little ganged up on, until the end when I think it felt like an attack to him. So why don’t you accuse Corri of “discrediting” CAC? He had a pretty strong opinion on how he felt about flying. She kept trying different angles. I’m not saying Corri did anything wrong. I think she did exactly what any counselor would do – explore theme to see if they lead somewhere, search out suspicions. But I also see little difference in what she was doing and what I was doing. If you see a difference, explain it to me.
