Thank you for wanting us to not have unreflective happy death spirals. I will have to repeat the behavior that caused you to express such caring.

I guess now it's the right time to say big thanks to everyone who didn't contribute to this thread!

I don't want you to not have unreflective happy death spirals, I'm just horrified at the potential consequences of not going out of my way to prevent you from having unreflective happy death spirals. Shame on you for imprecision and/or implicitly accusing me of hypocrisy.

I don't mean to accuse you of hypocrisy, just that your actions may have consequences you didn't intend. But it is nice of you to try to deny your caring once you learned it is reinforcing behavior you consider destructive.
