Possibly true, but I would never presume to resolve an argument on a subject I know about by simply talking down to the other person and telling him I know better. If you can't present facts, just shout louder. That's what you did this time, and you can't get out of it by wishing it away.

Because, you see - I know this better for sure. Yes. And I will not apologize for knowing it better than him. Than you. Than August. There are many practicioners out there who know more about traumata and therapy attempts than I do, no doubt. Still, also beyond doubt is that you three are none of them.

Doesn't matter. You gave up trying to show facts and stooped to talking down to people. I've seen other people do it here, and it showed how shallow they were as well.

Context, man, context. Not a strength of yours when picking some word cadavers serving your intention from my postings and using them to your liking, but trying nevertheless to refer to the context may sooner or later have a training effect.

That's easy to say when you make up your own context. You already have a long record of picking and choosing from the things I've said to suit your arguments, and now you want to do it with others by shouting "context". Did he say that or not? If so, I owe you an apology. If not, then you are once again trying to argue with what you want somebody to have said, not what they actually said. That's called dishonesty.

Would also help to fight the impression that you use this kind of distortion and/or distraction tactics intentionally.

You argue with what he didn't say, claiming that that was what he meant, and then accuse me of distortion? Interesting.

Sure. I can only recommend to you doing so.

So I'm a haughty hypocrite too? How so? I'm not the one who talks down to people and tries to lecture them, and when they still have the audacity to keep arguing try to shout them down by bragging about my credentials.

I do look in the mirror every day, and I'm my own worst critic.
