I'm sorry to blurt this out here, but I found no other option that didn't require signing up to do it. I wanted to listen to your criticisms of Moving Forward because I have some and was hoping to be able to develop them further by such means. What a mistake

Thanks for that neuf! I couldn't even be bothered to express my disgruntlement at the obvious blindness to their own contructs in the name of critique.
I once followed a link that offered to turn my LiveJournal into a book.
Any chance the link is still around, I've been lazily complaining for years now about wanting a way to download the contents of my lj into a useful format...
I joined lj not too long after you did and when I think back over what it's seen from me, it's a pretty damned strange journey that life's been.

Hi KMO --
One of the lessons for me when I was the center of the storm of a different sort of community, was how very much work I had to do to internalize "turning the other cheek." While I am [*almost* always] able to respond in a manner that [I hope!] is not wounding, I still have not mastered the "water off a duck's back" part of that paradigm.
I know, as I'm sure you do, that wounded people say things that are wounding, and I'm sure we both feel compassion for their pain, but I, at least, still find it personally painful when detractors seem so quick to attack "out of context," as it were. An exploration of a much larger body of work might support a spirit of inquiry and an inward exploration of "how come I got hooked here?"
I heard how you handled it on the podcast that I believe followed these posts, and I am all the more impressed now that I have read the gentle response here in your journal. Thank you for the modeling.
