L: All those negative qualities you mention probably do exist in some people, yet you are implying that I am one of these people. That's quite negative and mean-spirited. P: No mean spirited intend, just offering a possibility, if it's not true, I'm glad you are happy. L: What have you been up to lately? P: Just happily going on with the flow.
