Oh, is it? That's news to me. I was told a.s.d. was to be a support
newsgroup for mp's or those who dissociate, regardless of how
dysfunctional they are or are not. My own issues more have to do with
fine tuning the cooperative mental processes we have developed; I do
not consider myself to be disordered or broken. Is it your feeling
that only disordered people need support or understanding?
>It is difficult for me to see how your discussion fits into this context.
IT is difficult for you to see how discussion of techniques for
working with one's mp-ness fits in with your discussions of problems
you have with an mp spouse? My feeling is that there is no need for
one unified thread; I am sure that conversations dealing with
different aspects of dissociation will exist simultaneously.

I don't feel the least bit agressive, nor did it appear to me anyone
else was taking an agressive posture. *smile*
