[FRIAM] Nick's Recovery

[Marcus Daniels]

What offends you?   That I would point it is ridiculous (more so than offensive) to use the occasion of unease resulting from a viral infection to make a point about whether Consciousness exists?    I just think it is sad that Frank and Nick can't resolve this, because they've apparently been working on it so long.

I'm particularly fond of how abusers will say something abhorrent, then act all surprised when victims take offense. The abuser often takes the stance that they were simply joking and the snowflake should grow a thicker skin. I'm as guilty as the rest.
