Just thinking this Wed Eve:

Like I mentioned on Sun night, I’ve been looking at my past replies to members, and am.. well, bamboozled by what I see now that I did not see before:

I submitted academic-like essays to members, quoting them and analyzing their words over time, interpreting their motivations, their childhoods, coming up with solutions.. as if I was the forums analyzer in chief

As if people were case studies and I was well, I was studying people.

Not relating to people, not engaging with people emotionally, as a peer- but placing myself (without being invited to do so and without having any educational credentials to show) as The Teacher, treating members ad students who need my superior analysis and proposed solutions.

I’ll write more about it later.
