This isn't scientific so I don't expect extra credit, just thought it
was funny, possible example of reaction formation? Keep in mind she's
22 years younger than him...enjoy :)

Also...I don't know if anyone else has tried to post on here but I had
to join with my gmail account, it wouldn't let me post using my
my.uri.edu account even though it's a member.

Michele, this is very amusing - in its own right, but also as a good
example of a defense mechanism!

I think you could make an argument for reaction formation or maybe
even projection?

I'm sorry that you had trouble posting using your my.uri.edu account -
did anyone else have that trouble? :/

Hi Ali,
Yes i had trouble as well. I tried becoming a member to the website with my u.r.i. email but it wouldn't let me. So I signed in using my gmail account and it made me a member right away. Not sure why this happened.
Brendan.
