Oh no, I wasn’t referring to your earlier objections. I was just pre-empting the rejection of the law of bivalence that some bystander may invoke. On a semi-interesting side note, these recent comments haven’t been downvoted, so your aggressor has either stopped or temporarily left (hopefully the latter).
Well, one thing I learned from my childhood—the more viciously self-deprecating and self-abusive I can be, the more likely it is that my aggressors will leave me alone and just watch.
Ah, nice bit of wisdom there. You evade all of your abusers except for one: yourself. Ironically we’ve worked our way back to the topic of the article, because that can be useful as a signal; “don’t bother dominating me, I already have that covered”.

That was partially deliberate; I derive wry amusement from taking things meta and then bringing them back around.
