[FRIAM] Nick's Recovery

[Marcus Daniels]

I have to say more than once in my life I have attempted to perform deconstruction of an anger state and made the subject more angry.    I suspect this procedure would result in a similar outcome for about 74 million other potential subjects.    "I am angry and you better not step in my anger field!"   "Why do you insensitively ignore my anger field?!"

I was being my own example of the topic... uttering offended/offensive words without any particular meaning or target... <sorry if I offended you.. <grin>>

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.
