If you don't agree, that's fine, but it's not really your place to tell me or anyone else that pointing out something that twigs as a personality trait "doesn't communicate anything."

Did you really just tell a black man where his place was?
For serious? (But he didn't know you were black! Yeah, I know. But A: still happened. B: it's a crappy thing to say no matter who you say it to, unless there is actually a place and someone doesn't own it. Like say a moderator's position.)

RF - Serious, albeit off topic question on language. I've often heard (and used) expressions like, "Hey, it's not my place to say if they should be doing X." Or many variations on that theme. To me, that sort of expression is pretty neutral, as opposed to the (clearly offensive) language of saying, "He needs to know his place," or, "I'm going to put her in her place." I take it that you don't hear a difference between the different contexts?
I'm genuinely curious, given that the use of specific language is crucial in my profession, and I honestly hope not to offend a significant number of people with an expression (e.g. It's not my/your/his place to say...) I've always heard in a neutral way.

Hyperbole.

Thank goodness. I was afraid that you were a bit nutty. Now I can enjoy your posts again. :-D

Not with a bang but a whimper.
Of course the last Dora/Marten fight happened pretty quickly after the one before it was resolved so there's still some hope.

--- Quote from: TRVA123 on 10 Mar 2015, 18:56 ---I kind of see a parent/child dynamic between Dora and Tai. Dora acts maternal to everyone (which doesn't exactly help her control issues) and Tai acts childish. The dynamic creeps me out.

That might actually why it works for Dora. She has someone who can fulfil her need to control a given situation and Tai is emotionally immature enough to not realise what's happening.
It's not healthy for either of them.

Marten and Dora's relationship went through several cycles of Fight/Makeup/peace and quiet before it started again. We're just seeing the calm before the next storm.

I am more than a bit nutty.
Show me someone who isn't and I will show you a corpse or an excellent liar.
