| | This post is a present to Sarah House. A while back Andy started a thread entitled "Sarah House gets a reading lesson."
During the discussion of my article on addiction. Andy made a most ingenious observation in a post about halfway through. He accused me of trying to play the victim by dragging my past problems out into the public.
What was really going on was that I was opening up new ground in psychology and starting at a point where I knew the evidence. My own experiences.
I have since become the Solo Psychology leader - doing a hell of a lot of research on this these days, and I have written other articles - outside of a huge number of posts. (I also have a life outside of Solo.)
The addiction issue got pushed over to the side due to all these other interests. I would never let anyone - especially someone hostile to me - dictate what I should or should not discuss. The sole exception is Kat - and even then, only in a very limited sense. But an idea just came to me, a very interesting coincidence. I just checked some dates. Here is the quote from Andy's post on September 21 on the Addiction thread:
Do yourself a favor, Michael, and cut loose from your victimhood. Either that, or prove I have my head up my ass and go a month without mentioning your past problems with addiction.
The very last time I talked about my own addiction problems on Solo was on this very thread. The last time was my Post 137, dated September 26.
Today is October 27 - and not one peep. (Too many other things going on.) Is this proof enough?
I didn't make the offer, after all.
Andy also came up with an other gem on October 8 in another thread on rights, where he said:
I'll be back when I hear that loud *plop*. Then I'll know you've pulled your head out of your ass.
May I suggest, Andy, that asses are not proper places for putting heads? You have an awfully distorted view of these things.
