Thank you, Duke.

Thanks, Randy. :-D
>Edit, after Carl-E's correction below< omg, you're right, Carl; sorry... Sorry, Randy! :oops:
Carl-E:
I think you're confusing Something Awful with Something*Positive...

--- Quote from: Is it cold in here? on 09 Sep 2010, 14:17 ---Psychological abuse is real. I knew someone who would propose something reasonable and ask in a worried tone "Are you all right with that?", trying to get the other party to think they were being a prima donna.

This is abuse?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gaslighting
A roundabout way of hurting someone, but effective if your goal is to break them down and convince them they have gone crazy and need you to survive.

A little manipulative, but if that is the extent of the "abuser's" behavior, it doesn't amount to gaslighting.

It is certainly manipulative, and quite enough to earn someone a place on my "watch it, this is a person to regard with caution and mistrust" list, but I'm not sure that I'd rank it as abuse.

<SNIP>What saddens me is that no one got the reference in the title. :(

I don't know how many fans of "The Sound Of Music" there are on this board.
raoullefere:
Well, there are those of who are not, possibly because our parent insisted on watched the benighted thing every time E-annBeeCee (I think) trotted that nag out again, and there was only one TV in the house, so what do you do? (Read a ton, that's what) We are not fans of Gone With the Wind for similar reasons. We do like the book okay, though.
We did get the Dr. Demento ref: Tai Quan Leap.
We're now going to stop writing as though our last name is Windsor.
Edit: Another 'challenge': who got the movie ref in my post? Hint: It's missing a letter.
