You sure called me out on what your perception of what my posts meant to you. That's an attack on me.

So, what ground do you have to stand on as far as teaching methods? None.

Your perception.

Poor girl. I certainly wouldn't teach anyone like that.

Again, your perception.

Here's a scenario that might help you understand what I was trying to do:

Someone keeps getting headaches because they keep bashing themselves over the head with a hammer. I tell that person to stop bashing themselves over the head with a hammer, and they stop getting headaches. Does that make any sense to you?
