Angus: "OK. Let us grant Silverfox was not complaining. But let us be clear that Silverfox was NOT merely showing the issues at hand, as they really are.. Rather, he was exposing us to the way he (and perhaps his community?) perceives the issues. There is a difference."

Silverfox: "No, I WAS showing the issues as they really are. These issues are not only realised by myself, but many millions of people. YOU my friend, are the one (and perhaps many of your community) that is preferring to see it as something other than that. THERE is the difference.

Quote by Angus from Bill Isaacs' book "Dialogue & The Art of Thinking Together": "“In this latter ‘space’, both people might relax and discover that they had thoughts and feelings they were unaware of and out of contact with because of the immediacy of the battle. They might come to see, indeed, that they had unresolved pain in their hearts that was being triggered by their interaction but that was not initially produced by the other person. Finding in the arms of their wise and understanding friend such a larger psychological and emotional ‘place’ they would be able to relax and start to ‘move further upstream’ to the original source of their difficulties. They would be ‘moving into a larger container’ for their conversations.”"

Silverfox: "Reasonable dialogue...authentic dialogue. Whatever! The famous song went: You say tomato..I say tomato...you say potato..I say potato..."

That, Silverfox, is not only padding, but deliberately dramatized and assinine padding -- as you and everyone else who read your post well knows ... because you continued on ....

Silverfox: "Mr.Isaac's AUTHENTIC dialogue, could work if you could bring the entire Arab nations and Israel & quite a few million of world Jewry, into a big enough stadium (Mecca would be too small) to talk to them and make them see how much unresolved pain was in their hearts.

Well, you have begun to imagine, Silverfox. But, as you said immediately later in your post, that idea is utter poppycock, and I agree. That is not my idea. That is Silverfoxian Poppycock, entirely his own: an authentic brand of poppycock, but poppycock nonetheless.

Silverfox: "You are unable to 'twist' me to your way of thought...so you invite others to be brainwashed."

I have no interest in twisting Silverfox to my way of thought. That is, IMO, diagnosticianist mind-reading. Not truth.

Now since we are posting to the Truth Tree, shall we see if we can combine each of our authentic perceptions into a useful truth? Or does Silverfox want to hang on to the behaviour of an insolent little kid who says "Fuck Off" and links to Zionist and psychoanalytic propaganda? Because the latter pieces are someone else's thinking, not yours, dear fellow, unless you wish to be known as SilverfoxMrInauthentic.

But how I would know what you wish to do because I don't mind read, unless I forget not to do it -- a habit deeply entrenched in Western culture by, I hypothesize, the excessive diagnosticianism of Doctors of Psychiatry.

Now please abandon your "millions of dialogists in a stadium" image, Sir Silverfox. After I have sloughed off your insolence I will post something authentic on authentic dialogue.

How do I know it is authentic? I wrote it myself. what's this
