Why can't you just clearly and plainly state what you
suggest that I do?


I have - many, many times.


You just keep writing that I must decide. But
you do not state concrete actions that the
decision will produce.


Option 1 or Option 2.

You must decide!


You must decide.


Why?


You must.


What *do* you suggest? Just speak plainly rather than
answering a question with another question, or a zinger.

What's your suggestion?

The way I see it, you have two options:

1. Continue to be suckered in to foolish arguments.
2. Do not continue to be suckered in to foolish arguments.

OK so far.


Glad to hear it!

So far, so good.


Option 1 is expensive - you become a possession of those who goad you
in to responding. A puppet, as it were, dancing at the end of someone's strings....

That's your spin on it - does not address what actions you
suggest *I* take.


That is your current reality.


That's your soft-science psychobabble spin, then. ;-)


Not at all.



Option 2 is much more difficult than Option 1


For you, maybe.


Not at all.


- it requires the
intelligence to recognize a legitimate argument from bait,
and
considerable inner strength to resist the drive to respond,
even when you know you are in the right.


You're begging the question, Leo.


I am begging the answer.

Decide!


This is your potential future reality.


So what do you suggest *I* do?


Decide!


Actions, Leo.


Um - decision is an action.

Decide!


Owned or free.

That's your spin.


That's your opinion.


Fact.


Owned or free - Decide!


Owned - or free.

You must decide.


Why?


You must.


The path you choose will be entirely up to you.

So there *is* a choice!


There is always a choice.


Odd to hear from someone who told me I could not stop
myself.


Hopefully I was incorrect.

Decide!


Yours to make if your are able to do so,


Ah - now there's a condition!


Which only you can overcome.

Decide!


You must decide!


Why?


You must.


Choose wisely!

Wise by whose standards?


We'll all see the answer to that one soon enough - when you
decide!


How will you know what is decided?


That is the simplest task of all.

Should you choose Option 2, it will be immediately apparent to all.

Should you continue down the current path, then you have chosen to
remail with Option 1. Equally apparent to all.

You must decide!



How would such a choice be demonstrated in concrete, practical terms?


Hmmm - you read the two options, right?


Just can't make yourself spell them out, I see.


The options have been spelled out quite clearly above.

Option 1. Status Quo. Owned.

And Option 2. Change. Free.


What actions do you suggest?


Decide! Only you can make this decision - you're on your own
now.


You have not offered the requested information. Seems to me that
when you speak of "abuse" and "control" and "goading", you're
really talking about yourself, not Len.


Decide!


Or perhaps you and he are one and the same.


Not at all!


Good luck!


Be seeing you.


Um - shouldn't that be BCNU?
