Shepherd...I think ichc has provided a lovely example of being both patronising, as well as using the idea that there is an 'awake' and an 'asleep' state, in order to suggest your inferiority.

But so what? point it out once and let ichc get on with it. And if you feel a spark of annoyance then have a little chuckle at your reaction and move on. That is what I would suggest...and ofcourse, you are as free to ignore me as you are to ignore anyone else.

Just going to point out I didn't say all gurus, writers, self help people, therapists before there is more toys thrown out of the prams.

If you are taking the original post personally then is there something else happening that needs your attention?

Attacking or making me the focal point of your frustration will more about you than me. I'm happy to hear your objections to the post but bullying me no matter your position on this forum will still be about you.

Yeah i am aware of it and its not been the first time I have seen this on this forum not to myself but to others and its that behaviour I point to. I chose to ignore it though it did make me laugh in disbelief for a moment.

I think this discussion has gone as far as it's going to. Closing it.
