No, I didn't suggest that the Google links were to examples. I was responding to Richard's claim that it didn't exist, essentially, because he'd never seen it. Obviously many people have seen it, but you wouldn't expect to see links to examples, for pete's sake. As I said, the next time I come across an example, I'll give you a link. But you're still overinterpreting "standard practice," as I explained and you ignored.

I have certain triggers - Share's mean streak is one of them, when it pops up. I respond to what shows up in the moment, or as a result of watching the trajectory of a conversation unfold. I try to keep a larger picture in mind almost always, even as I may descend into the energy and feeling of a thread as it resonates within me. I may not always succeed in the heat of the moment (in keeping the larger picture at the forefront), but behind the scenes, in my own life, I always go through a process of "lessons learned," if you will. I am a human being and I *believe* in the concepts of accountability and humility, for example. This prepares the ground. It's a set up. Then when Share responds, Emily declares the response to be inadequate or shocking, and proceeds to plunge the knife in and twist it as much as she can. Jesus Christ Feste, I have been shocked by Share on many occasions, it's true, and she has deferred and refused to take accountability for her words, or even explain them, on even more occasions. I have also apologized more times and copped to my own actions more than many here and I have stated many times that I always check what I might say to others against my self - I am not a saint nor do I pretend to be. Share has a record of "zero" on that front. I hold no animosity towards her; I am just objectively stating what I have noticed from her posts here. To attribute these kinds of violent images to me says a lot about you, not me. Curiously, Share, do you agree with what Feste says here about me? Is this how you have experienced me on this forum?
