This venue, involving words only, won't allow one person to slap another, or even frown negatively at another. Only words, ideas, symbols. Here's a venue to notice emotional responses to ideas, image constructions related to words. A great way to inquire about the images one forms, and the image one maintains of self which has responses to those images. Other than the image I form from the words, there are only marks appearing on a screen, marks passing by ... Everything else is my doing, and the doing which is me. -- Dan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
