Well, I'd have to feel bad only if I was taking pot shots at little people... Personally, I lump them in with people who are like D6--overlooked, underappreciated and just different from us giants!
You aren't a little person, are you? If you're a clown, you're hired!
I'm going to comment here what I forgot to say in your own thread--and that is addressing the time delays when we backslide.
Triple J best illustrated how he came up with 2 months in his thread. But the fact is that you can actually measure how long it takes to regain ground that is lost when doing a backslide.
For instance, my last fish eating episode occurred last June. We were in MC then, so it helped heal some hurts--though I was far from realizing my addiction to drama and how it affected my M. Anyway, it took me 2 solid months to get back to the point where I was at before I ate the fish tank...
During the period of regaining ground, you will often hear the S say stuff that verifies their position on why they don't want to give you hope or believe in the changes.
Summary: The backslides verify the yucky self talk they indulge in.
Three cheers for tall girls! I'm sorry, Mer, how about 3 cheers for girls who aren't as tall too?
