Hang on to that thought! Never sure the extent to which MLCers make choices - they seem like choices to us, but in some strange way they are on a self destructive path. Sounds like letting them off the hook, but when you seem the same patterns over and over again, in such different people, you have to wonder if it is a bit like holding a bi-polar person accountable. But the MLCer goes around breaking everything in sight, and trampling on other people's feelings.
