- You are describing "projection", a common ego-defense mechanism used
- to cope with stress. It is a reaction in which we blame others for our
- mistakes and shortcomings, or attribute to others our own own unacceptable
- motivations. You should be _quite_ familiar with it, Mr. Graley.
-
- Since this is an _extremely_ basic concept in psychology, your statement
- "that if one sees... [projects] ...what one hides in oneself... then one
- can never make observations about other people, and the entirity [sic] of
- psychology would be null" is a non sequitur.

- >But as your posting shows, women have no sense of logic.
-
- In other words, you are *PROJECTING* your own illogical thinking into
- my fiancee, Katherine.
-
- I hated to do this to you, since you are showing great self-control by
- posting in mixed case and haven't used a single "FUCK", but I *did*
- warn you about messing with my sweetie.
