Nice, but I have knives in my house.
I haven't killed anybody with them, although they could be used for that. I do find lots of other very handy uses for them.
Tools and knowledge are not things I fear. I trust myself to use what I have in an ethical manner. I also trust myself to be alert for my own welfare.
Kristoff's post has made me reread the retreat statement, but not necessarily change my mind. I've learned much about the techniques of reading people from other venues. I've noticed these techniques being used against me. I'm sure that not all of the time the people using them were conscious of their attempts to influence me. They were just techniques that they naturally developed as they grew and acquired thier socialization skills.
Just had to pipe in.
Live and learn,
