looks like you're optimizing your criticisms to score points rather than to change Shannon's behavior

Hard to evaluate such things from the inside, of course, but... First, I have no interest in changing Shannon's behavior and I think having such a goal would be both strange and inappropriate. Second, I didn't understand the point of her post and my usual approach to such situations is to get a few sharp sticks and start poking :-) I know that not everyone is a fan of such methods but I find that they work sufficiently well.

All in all, my weakly held opinion at the moment is that the post wasn't all that interesting -- it was just a failed attempt to promote a psychotherapy practice.
