I actually was not talking about the thread you posted.

But that is a good example of how misinterpretation can be almost as damaging as deliberate misuse of information.

You were trying to make a point by example, and I understand why and how, but, unfortunately, that is difficult to do without having people misunderstand.

Kind of like if you have a small child (which I do) who pulls hair.

If you get mad, and pull HER hair, and say "how do you like it" all that will happen is that she will be angry, hurt, and confused.

In reality, she does not really know that pulling hair is painful, because she is still a child and has not yet developed the tools we call empathy and projection. She cannot learn by examples of that sort yet.

The same goes for these threads, and that is why we need to learn and to teach discipline.
