Subject: A discussion

Mr. Forge, my appologies in the lateness of this reply, but I have only just returned from an effort to escape the mental miasma of the school. That said, if you would like to continue a discussion about any of the topics we touched upon - the nature of abuse, the pros and cons of discussion and therapy, other interpersonal or emotional problem solving techniques or psionic limitations and ethics - I would be happy to meet with you in person. I will be down in the medical wing for most of the evening.

I believe I owe you an apology as well. In retrospect, I realize I saw your post as telling Jay he was overreacting, whereas I've been spending the weeks since the incident trying to get him to react to anything at all. I stand by what I said - better an "inappropriate" reaction than none at all, but I do admit that I was off base with a lot of things I said.

On the subject of your suggestion - I am, on Mr. Dayspring's recommendation, taking Professor Xavier's course in ethics next semester, which includes a unit on the ethics of telepathy and psionics. I would like to take you up on your offer for a discussion as well, although I'm told I'm the most head-blind person in this place, I feel there's always room to learn.

Thanks for your patience.

JHF

Apology accepted. I do agree that it is better for him not to bottle what he is feeling, and at least some of the error on both our parts comes through the inadequacies of a text based medium. It is very easy to misread or misunderstand intent, particularly when highly emotional topics are involved.

I think you will find the ethics course very interesting, and, as an aside, I would also recommend debate. Everyone can always use more practice in expressing themselves clearly, and as you are interested in legislation it would do you good. Feel free to come by any time to discuss things - headblind or not, the theory can be learned even if not the practice.
