The same kind of a thing also happened over on the other topic here --
where we began discussing PATIENT NUMBER 2 --
then suddenly for some reason a DRAMATIC SHIFT takes place --
where this poster begins talking ABOUT ME as if I were also a CHARACTER in the SHOW even though I am not.
They also gave me a LECTURE saying this:
>>I feel pretty sure you will just come back and blame me, or push more opinions about stuff we are not talking about ... which in a normal conversation a certain amount would be OK, but you have no ability to monitor because you are so desperate to validate yourself.
So perhaps this other ACCUSATION about how they think someone else was talking about "STUFF" that we weren't, who they also say has "NO ABILITY to MONITOR" is still another case of PROJECTION on their part???
Because I also STAYED FOCUSED upon PATIENT NUMBER 2 the entire time.

A character played by John Benjamin Hickey seems like an attempt to cram in every hot-button issue of the moment it was written — he’s a tech-world white-collar criminal with complicated views on race and gender who considers himself "a VICTIM of CANDCEL CULTURE."
Hickey does his best, but he’s playing a provocation, not a person. These sessions exist uneasily next to "MORE CAREFULLY WRITTEN" episodes about Anthony Ramos’ home health aide character, who either is exhibiting drug-seeking behavior or is caught in the mental health system.
Her enclave, an architectural marvel bathed in golden Los Angeles light, is a the ultimate safe space — and each episode, she lets the world come in, with all its possibilities and perils. The fact that her patients are often laughably blind to "DEFENSE MECHANISMS" she, and we, can easily decode is irritating and gratifying in turn; it also turns Brooke’s safest space into a staging-ground. (Her stunning irritation when the Swindell character’s grandmother attempts to see private areas of the home is an early sign of just how besieged Brooke feels.)
In other words, the DEBATE where the "BLOW UP"
started was also OVER my saying that EP. 1 had been "MORE INTERESTING" than EP. 2 (with the guy who said his PARENTS had been HIPPIES and he was raised in a COMMUNE).
What's also interesting is how MOST COMMUNES also didn't last long enough for someone to "GROW UP" in them.
Because the "HIPPIE CULTURE also GOT CANCELLED"
and was REPLACED by "YUPPIE CULTURE" (as can also be seen in a film called "THE BIG CHILL").
