The more I think about it, you're right.
Whether one agrees or disagrees doesn't change what people regard as their reality.
In this thread there's a post from someone who said that everything I say is regarded as sarcastic. I had spent a good deal of time trying to explain a common family dynamic which causes untold grief to people in a manner which she could understand. It was a sincere, honest effort.
Which was regarded as being sarcastic.
Rob misunderstood my post. His reality was that I had insulted a person who had become vulnerable. That's his reality.
That's sad. And there's nothing to do about it. When people are responding in that manner to those posts, there isn't much to do, is there?
There's another construction saying. "Drag up."
Where's Harry?
"He dragged up."
