Agreed. But the avenue was explored and exhausted, next avenue.
some of it is parodied by Chopper telling people to harden the fuck up.
I'm with SM, the arguments of this thread isn't about the gotcha moments of seeing and understanding the middle ground of opening communication but seeing the "I'm fat" or "You're an asshole" extremes and settling into it there.
Again, I think that's the part of the edge that has been lost.
