I lost it...

My intent in this thread was to ask you to post your actual location and to offer an opportunity to review your cheese make. I wasn't being personally critical of your efforts.

As I step back and take a long view of your profile and comments, I believe I understand a little better.

Mea culpa,

No need for recrimination, mitigation, or contrition. I understand perfectly. I'm not an easy person to read, and my use of humour as a defence mechanism frequently throws people for that proverbial loop.

As to my not stating my precise location, that's just an unhealthy desire for privacy and a little paranoia on my part. I never said I was well-adjusted.

Oh, my, please don't "review" me. I'm neither a play nor a movie. I don't handle critique or evaluation well. It goes back to me being a much harsher critic of myself than anyone else ever could be, and for someone to add to that, no matter how well-meaning, it is always a confirmation of my worst fears about myself. It's almost like perpetually being in the state of privately wondering if you have toilet paper stuck to your shoe, and then going out in the public arena only to find everyone laughing at you for having toilet paper stuck to your shoe. Which adds to whatever you were worrying about to begin with. It's additive and cumulative. But worse. Because it's you that's the focus, not something merely "stuck to you"...

Not to make excuses, and giving out way more personal information than I would ever want to, my parents decided I was, at a very early age, bored in school, and by the time I was in high school, I had skipped three grades. It made me painfully self-conscious. And put a target on my back.

But you couldn't know that.

So, again, no need for recrimination, mitigation, or contrition. Let's just love cheese together.
