what constitutes a "pattern of behavior"?

one instance?

two?

Patterns are not formed by a single event.


she didn't appear to in the other thread :idunno:

You are correct. :thumb:





nobody was interested in discussing motive in the other thread

just jumping to conclusions
Not that you have ever done that yourself, I am sure.


:thumb:

it's nice to discuss this with someone who isn't ruled by their emotions
I would not say that Rusha or A4T are ruled by their emotions regarding this topic, I would rate their participation as passionate.

Passion carries a different connotation than emotional. Emotional tends to convey an irrational response while passionate tends to indicate a more rational response.

i still don't see no "connotations" of rationality in there :idunno:
