I'd appreciate it if you didn't > do that. yeah i apologise: i'm... well, here's a graphic illustration from real-life. i was in a meeting at a company that was under a lot of pressure. i'm not legally permitted to say who they were. the meeting was to discuss ways to fix the issues for developers. when i started speaking, to describe some ideas, one person actually stood up and said, "if you don't stop talking i swear i'm going to come over there and smash your face in". now, given that he held a black belt in karate, i had to have a word with the CTO (which i learned much later that he already had). there was absolutely *no* reason as to why this person should have had such an outburst. i was simply describing some ideas. it was completely neutral. there was nothing confrontational or controversial about what i was saying. what i *believe* had happened was: i was so depressed and so distressed by working for that company (records showed that i had SIXTY days off work due to illness in under a year), that it must have clearly shown on my face. he wasn't attacking what i was saying: he just couldn't cope with even *looking* at me being in such pain and distress. it also didn't help that i needed root canal treatment. so i believe something similar is happening here. you're noticing - subconsciously - the distress and pain that i'm undergoing from interacting with people, here, as it's something that really can't be hidden. l. -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~mimblewimble Post to : mimblewimble@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~mimblewimble More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
