Well, technically, claiming that your response is "the only possible response" is in itself arrogant and egocentric.
Yeah, this is why I told him he couldn't understand. It requires one to step out of their box to understand. He's afraid of being open minded. And his response to my post "calling him out", was typical ego protection mechanism. The closer you get someone like that to breaking through their ego membrane, the more irrascible and inflammatory they become. They fight and claw at the walls. Eventually becoming animal. This is especially true if the breakthrough is based on a chemical dependancy. In some brains even "feeling protected" can be a strong chemical dependancy.
His response just outlines exactly what he is all about to me. I see right through it. While he is getting mad, angry, and defensive I am observing truer and truer truth, and becoming more grounded and centered and objective about him.
His next post, if he's as smart as he thinks he is, should be calm, collected, and objective. This is the best way for him to now protect his ego. However it will likely skirt, avoid, and try to justify through analogy his objective viewpoints.
But now that I've diffused that option, he may have no choice but to simply ignore these posts of mine. And move to being dismissive. This is the easiest way to avoid confronting his ego at this point.
We'll see. From an anthropomorphic perspective, I find William fascinating! [:D]
Probably will be easiest to just attack me and shift and redirect attention away from him. That would be a nice two pronged approach.
