I’m wondering why the message upsets you so much.

Again? I'm upset now? I'll let this stand. It speaks for itself and, dare I say it, reveals your character.

Let me put this in political terms since this is a political forum. I'm a conservative. I believe in personal responsibility. To blame anyone other than the wrongdoer for a wrong act is puerile -- not to mention a well-known liberal tactic. And to agree with this blame shifting when it's espoused by others suggests a liberal tendency in your thought processes.

hostile responses to polite comments/questions

I'm merely responding in kind to your comments to me. I'm holding up a mirror and you don't even recognize your own words. Review your posts. You've been insulting from the get-go. I'm sorry the truth upsets you.

It’s not blame “shifting”. It’s recognizing that some things don’t happen out of the blue.

Suppose Dr. Laura had made her comments in practical terms rather than in moral terms. For example, instead of saying "some wives share the blame for hubby's infidelity" she said "some wives' unreasonable witholding of affection contributes to hubby's later infidelity".

Would you still disagree? I guess what I'm getting at is:

Do you disagree with Dr. Laura's description of the possible *causes* of infidelity, or the way she assigns moral responsibility for infidelity?

Or do you disagree with both?
