No sweat.

Your 368 mentioned compiling a list of epithets you’d been called and the list growing huge rapidly.

It can be easy to blame such 100% on the other end of things.

Usually there are lots of reasons for labels and labeling.

They are ALMOST always at least a little on both ends and plenty in the middle. Certainly it can be 95-99% on one end and in some relationships almost always so. Still, there’s often at least a little truth from the opposite perspective’s uhhhhh perspective.

Usually there are lots of reasons for labels and labeling.

In 1963 at Milton Academy, the same illustrious New England Prep School that Teddy Kennedy attended, I went storming into the headmaster's office to complain about anti-semitic harassment three upperclassmen were inflicting on a Jewish freshman.

The headmaster refused to act saying, "Usually there are lots of reasons for labels and labeling," or words very similar to those.
