How true @Chrissy Page! It is a shame though that many folks cannot tell the difference between the two. Real life, to some, begins and ends with a discussion group denying the entities that they can touch and feel all around them. The same it would seem when folks are passive to those entities they deny are bothering them in life and are aggressive to those on a forum setting which is only a semblance of reality. I'm sure that most psychologists scratch their heads and stroke their goatees at the senselessness of it all.
Now I get it! Arlene is trying to sort out the different phobias and anxieties that plague mankind. Please do allow me to help. Would anyone with the characteristics of having ailurophobia please raise their hands. Now, would anyone with the characteristics of having xocoltophobia please raise their hands. We might have to wait a bit to find anyone with these problems but you never know. There are a lot of members here and perhaps while we wait for the results we can get back on topic as Ms. Richards first begged everyone's indulgence to do and later decided to direct us to unusual phobias. (it would seem). If anything, possibly we can talk about the passive / aggressive habits of the Mexican swamp rat. I understand that they like cookies and are suspiciously fond of cats but not necessarily in the touchy feely type of fond.
@Bobby Cole - I can't raise me hand Bobby - I can neither pronounce nor understand these phobias - I doubt I have them anyway .....
Well, look who's here! Yes, I am having a massive amount of fun trying to figure things out. First, you brought the thread to bear and then jumped all over someone for not doing what you asked. Then, after a few of us complied with your request including the administrator, you bring up a cookie recipe. After the cookie recipe you wanted to talk about your cat. The question still remains: Why are you not complying with the same request you have made for everyone else to follow? Simple question which I asked twice before with no answer. Are you just looking for attention or are you not enjoying the discussion group and want to sabotage your own thread?
Uh, I cannot properly pronounce them either but one is the fear of cats and the other is the fear of chocolate. Love your humor Patsy!!
@Arlene Richards Uh-huh! I checked the definition, just to make sure I was not stirring a can of worms.
