<p>Trashing of OSU and pulling of plugs almost no one would advocate.</p>
<p>But, on the other hand, I for one will join the few confessing to harboring some thoughts similar to Dad II. Doesn’t matter which ones. Actually I have no issue with OSU myself:).</p>
<p>At a high level however I can see some of my attitude in his posts. </p>
<p>It’s not an attitude I want to be supported in. I know I should do better. I try, with all the legacy of generations of the WASP definition of good behaviour, not to manifest my bad attitude. At least not too much.</p>
<p>But it’s there, lurking. Or occasionally yelling, but I hope mostly only privately to myself. So when Dad II posts, it makes me feel better that someone is copping to some of the feelings I try not to have but do anyway. At least he’s not pretending to be all righteous. Which is not BTW a reference to any poster here.</p>
<p>I live in the region of simultaneous smooth-mouthed ambition is an evil thing let’s all eat granola AND killer achievement obsessions. Sometimes both in the same person. So from my perspective some times it’s comforting to see someone who isn’t second-guessing his or her own opinions. Some one who seems to feel that a little base humanity in all its weakness is OK.</p>
<p>However, beyond my own selfish need to know I’m not the only one, it really only comes down to Dad II’s daughter. If she is rolling her eyes and knows he really loves her, fine. If she is wounded, totally not fine.</p>
<p>So there you have it.</p>
