The sentence *doesn't* make much sense when you take it out of context like that, does it? Especially when you go on to suggest that Barry's stream-of-consciousness style would tend to refute it. Too bad you didn't think of this ploy the first time you tried to argue against the post. Then, according to you, Robin couldn't see Barry's experience of himself in his posts because Barry isn't open to being vulnerable to people he doesn't like. Neither attempted refutation has much of anything to do with Robin's actual analysis, which is considerably more subtle and complex than you've been able to grasp (or at least wanted anybody else to grasp). (Barry's response to your post is amusing. To support your attempted refutation of Robin's analysis, he offers the fact that he types very fast and doesn't do any editing, which has even less to do with anything Robin wrote.) > But I'm ready to be proven wrong.

It isn't something that can be "shown," in either my case or Barry's (or anybody else's, for that matter). Where it shows (or doesn't show) is in our respective posts. If you can't see the difference in what Robin is talking about between my posts and Barry's, perhaps it's *your* lack of perceptiveness that's the problem. > In your writing, you seem to only be able to focus on > your experience of yourself.

Just a manufactured insult, not something you actually believe to be the case. You aren't *that* undiscerning.
