b9 (benign?),
Perhaps I should apologize for using this word as its meaning is perhaps not as tangible as required for this discussion topic.
As for the aggression part I am with you 100%.
I apologize for dragging you into this mess. Take care,

| Thanks for sharing, Nick. Not that it realy matters, but it's been a few "porn-clean" days for me as well. I'd much rather relapse with porn than with heroin, truth be told. I am very happy for you and please do not spend more than a few milliseconds of your life with my meaningless mumblings Take ... |

| I envy people who can actually give that response in real time. It would take me a couple of weeks of re-thinking and reenacting the situation before I come up with something as witty.

I am a professionally diagnosed with autistic "disorder," and the test indicate that I am "very likely an Aspie." I did the Quiz, same results as you. I am prof diagnosed OCD (which I find hard... |
