So the mission of the sour plum is to help assist me feeling badly about myself? So noble, so kind. So you. > > Two hints: (1) Not looking for a guru in Curtis; and > (2) anger *per se* isn't the problem. It's the Hulk- > like transformation the anger triggers that's the > problem. Or maybe Jekyll/Hyde is a better analogy. Off my schtick for a moment here. Your complaint is ridiculously pointed at me for the most human quality of reacting angrily to hostility and (what seems to me) unfair attack. There is nothing hulk-like about this switch. Posters get from me what they give. Sometimes the switch is between a few different posts as with Jim who can start a rancorous debate and then in a few posts we are complimenting each other. You more than anyone here has an agenda to get my goat and when you succeed you claim it as a personality defect rather than the natural reaction that you yourself share here. You are trying to demonize me for trying to gain rapport with people here (that is being Mr. Wonderful) and then reacting defensively when attacked. And a typical cycle of triggers is if any poster has a run of too many positive posts with me. It seems to unhinge you. > > At any rate, Curtis might find it of benefit to do > some reading/thinking about Jung's recommendation > to acknowledge and ultimately accept one's Shadow > side.

First of all please don't attempt to couch your malevolent intentions toward me as some kind of exercise in opening my eyes to greater self knowledge. You don't have the empathy skills needed, or even the core level kindness toward other people that would be required. You are not a people person Judy. It reveals itself again and again in your low emotional intelligence displayed in your posts. And secondly, for you to chastise me for having "anger triggers". From a person who is the most high maintenance, fly-off-the-handle on any given phrase, soaring on the wings of her self-righteous claim to moral superiority, often screechingly angry posters here,I say (re-engage schtick) Sour, sour plum. > > > --- In [email protected], "curtisdeltablues" <curtisdeltablues@> > wrote: > > > > --- In [email protected], Duveyoung <no_reply@> wrote: > > > > > > Curtis, > > > > > > Have you considered that Judy is like Guru Dev when he was looking for a > > > guru?
