It sounds like my post may have come across as confrontational. That was not my intent. Let me rephrase it:
Why does personal responsibility apply in one case (others inviting you to feel something) but not in the other case (others inviting you to try something inappropriate, or to act on incorrect information).
In other words, we seem to be in agreement about the emotions issue, yet "the place I come from" which leads me to that agreement also leads me to disagree with your original concern.
So while perhaps we will not end up convincing each other, I am curious about the place *you* are coming from and how it leads to both of your positions. I have been trying to construct such a place in my mind, and am not succeeding.
Anyway, I hope your weekend is going well.Michael
