You are correct, of course. I was just chuckling
at the 'dependency' Vaj nailed in someone who has
made an Internet 'career' out of trying to convince
others that she's "right" and that they pretty much
have to agree with her. Once she recruits someone
into the position of agreeing with her fairly consis-
tently, then she seems compelled to dive in and 
"support" them any time they get into a challenging 
discussion.

So it's a dependency issue, not a co-dependency
issue. Some people only feel comfortable about life
when others agree with them on their illusions about
it. Consensus reality, and all that...  :-)

I had noticed that, actually.
