I think, Pilot, (and I see some similarities with some other recent male posters) is that sometimes it seems like you have a need to prove yourself to the people in this forum. Like, making sure that we totally understand something you wrote, or intended, or justifying certain actions or thoughts you've had.
But here is the thing: you don't need to prove yourself to anyone here. We are all anonymous. We don't know you. We have zero vested interest in saving your M.
If you want to say, Claire, I think you are full of $h!t, and don't know what the heck you are talking about... well, I don't really care! (See, that's what detachment means ). I don't feel a need to prove myself to you.
Saying "I can't win" kind of says a lot. Why do you feel you have to "win" here?What if you just simply took the pieces of advice here that you felt were most helpful (and that's just it, none of us are magicians so no one has ALL the answers) and just left the rest without feeling the need to reply to every point?
Fair enough
