Talossan Empathy Network - Mental Health Support Group

[Breneir Tzaracomprada]

Okay; well, I am not looking for an apology from you right now. The issue is that when I talk about "the issues raised in my last message" I am *not* referring to the very brief suggestion that you should talk to Ian Plätschisch about monarchy reform (that ship has sailed, for the coming term at least). I am referring to the following aspect:

1. I gave my explanation why I had defended/protected X person whom you felt had behaved impermissibly towards you.
2. I then went on to explain the problem with how you supported and defended Y person who had behaved badly towards me. This was the part which stuck in my craw that you did not respond to.

The problem with Talossan partisanship is precisely that we form "teams" and things that members of our own "team" do can always be justified because "the other team" deserve it. There is no hope for Empathy unless *everyone* is prepared to climb down off the partisanship and listen to/acknowledge the hurt that "our team" has caused the other.

Miestra, if you want to talk about partisan climb-downs then you might want to show you understand the hurt you have caused as well. Both sides does not mean self-flagellation from those on the other side. We can throw what we believe are obligations on the other until forever but I'd like to hear where you think you've gone too far.

Yes. That is precisely what I am suggesting. That is what I was trying to do in Part 1 of the last message I sent you. Was it insufficient? I don't know because you never responded.
