Hi, Lise,
It took me a while to understand what you meant about people owning articles and info... but now I see.
Peculiarly sad that I knew just where to look in order to get the whole picture.
Anyhow, when I searched for info on gaslighting yesterday, and found this article, it was the first time I'd ever read it.
Until this past week or so, it'd been months since I'd read any more than a very few threads on the board each week...
and those, only posted by a handful of members.
And to answer your question, no - I don't think that people here own articles and topics...
although I do find it odd when I see someone duplicate another person's threads/topics/info/words/phrases/styles
within minutes/hours of the original posting.
(Finding that odd is just a personal quirk of mine, perhaps, but nonetheless, yes, I find it quite odd indeed.)
Thanks for the compliment, too!
I used to post alot of lengthy articles, but Hops set me straight (for the most part, and lovingly) on that by making one of her typically astute remarks something to the effect of not liking to have to wade through longggggg posts... LOL. Anyhow, that was before I knew what a sweetie she is

Now... what was the question again?
Oh, yes - yes, I did finish the safe people book...
did you get it?
I think I remember you were gonna pick it up.
I let that thread slide because I didn't want to bore anyone by going through it in too much detail, but it's an awesome book, I agree.
And yes, I'd love to discuss it further. My copy is not put too far away... I'll get it back out!
Love,
Carolyn
