Girlfriend Mookie, you are projecting onto me

Projecting is highly offensive and I could be very offended but I am not going to be. Instead I am going to ask a favor for you. Can you go back and reread my post. Notice the 1st sentence and the last 3 paragraphs.

There may have been a better way of writing what I did but I wrote what I did because I respected Tom's Point of View. I gave him my full attention which to me is probably one of the highest compliments I can give (sadly you can't be a mind reader and understand my attention is high praise in Roland00 / Matt Language.)

And Tom's viewpoint is actually almost the same as Roland00's opinion. Note though I would separate my opinion / instinct with my behavior. If I was in the pentagon I would break down this and not act with my fast brain but instead my "slow brain" to borrow a Daniel Kahneman / Nobel Prize in Economics / Prospect Theory / Behavioral Economics / Dual Process term. (Sorry for getting lost in the details, moving on and skipping much of the Yadda / Yadda / Yadda / Blah / Blah / Blah stuff... this Yadda Yadda Yadda stuff is why I hyperfocused on Mutilation for those are some of the type of trigger words that if you been trained to notice make you question things on an epistemological / theory of knowledge basis aka the Prospect Theory / Dual Process stuff I am trying to skip)

But because I respect Tom's viewpoint I was as a proxy asking him questions as a Devil Advocate. The Devil's Advocate job is not to be EVIL or to destroy things. But sometimes a devil's advocate tears down an idea and brings it to the point of absurdity for they are confident in the other's person's ability to further refine the idea and make it even better.

I am confident in Tom's analytical and reasoning ability. I was merely trying to act as his "shadow" and point out things he may not have thought of.

I bring this up for even though my opinion is much the same as Tom's I can see the other viewpoint's point of view. I have the same cognitive dissonance in which I guess caused you, caused you Mookie to create this post.

Now I am currently projecting reasons onto you on why you created this post. I understand they are projections, but they are all in good faith. Am I wrong? What was the reason you made this post? Can you explain it to me? I really no longer know...the reason why I no longer know is now that you questioned my good faith and I thought I was very clear in my first sentence and the last 3 paragraphs I was not trying to bully, I was not trying to say Tom's idea is absurd, instead I was challenging it because I respect it.

But now that my faith is challenge can you do me the favor and explain to me why you made the post? I am no longer sure my guesses at Mookie's reasons are close to reality, or maybe the problem is with Roland00's / Matt's perception. Maybe the problem is Me.

I am sorry I did not telegraph to you Mookie, all the times I thought Tom made a great point. I am sorry I did not give him a gold star each time. I would consider that be spam and an echo chamber. Sure you may need to do that to an 8 year old, or a snowflake, but to me Tom is a mature human being who I often disagree with but I also respect him ... for the most part.

A snowflake Tom is not. So are you giving me shit and questioning my motives for I did not hand out enough gold stars? Seriously Mookie I am needing sensory feedback from you.

Now Mookie I highly respect you, and I bet we can laugh at this when our conversation is over. I will gladly buy you a beer, as long as you buy me a vodka drink and we can laugh over this for I think we are just not on the same page of why Roland00 aka me did what I did.

And yeah Mookie if you are sensing a unleashed Diva ... well I had a long day and maybe I am taking it out on you a little. Now I respect you enough that me going full Diva on you instead of just ignoring a stupid / silly person should be interpreted by you as a compliment for you now know I am busting your balls except I am busting them as truthfully and authentically as I can.

I do this for I respect you. Just like I respect Tom.</I> I am not sure you respect me, but I can live with you not respecting me... hell part of me does not care if you think I am some form of monster / demon / whatever.
