God i HATE when this happens! Just when I decide to go to sleep...

... which obviously I didn't do after all. Smile

BTW, the way the PM corrected the mistake in the /librarian page was lovely.

Do wenhave any lead on the new chat file? I think 'Devil' is simply an alias: "I will be famous".

Maybe. But consider:

there are people telling Syn:
a) she didn't make a mistake.
b) she made a mistake, but its ok
c) Someone else made the mistake.

I think the point here is that she got more than a bit confused... we might want to form a plan of action for the next chat, and expecially formulate what to do if people like certain unnamed jerks join our chat.

I think it is a good idea to encourage her to open up. Telling her she made a mistake would be a mistake on our part. In the event that she thinks she is wrong, perhaps our tactic should be to try to find out why she thinks she is wrong rather than just telling her she is. Something link this:

Since there are a few comments on the general subject, I wanted to explain what I was actually shooting for in my comment regarding the mistake situation. I noticed that the error had occurred and was trying to emphasize that Syn wasn't bad everytime there was a mistake of some sort. I knew that it wasn't actually Syn's slipup, but was trying to show her that it's okay to make a mistake as long as it isn't intentional and you try to correct it if you discover it later. Errors are inevitable and potentially constructive events- anxiety attacks and/or punishment over said errors aren't...

At any rate, that's what I try to teach to young kids who are coping with how to handle their own mistakes.

PlanB, I hope that made sense...

Look, I know your intentions were good, but Syn is in such a state that to emphasize her mistake AT ALL would almost be like losing all of our footing with her. Syn is basically a badly abused child, and we can ONLY emphasize the positive things she does. If she says she is bad, then we have to say she is good; if she says she made a mistake, we say she didn't. That's how we get ahead with her; if she emphasizes her own mistakes, then she'll basically go catatonic, and we won't be able to get further ahead in the story.

That's the goal: keep her talking, and we'll push the plot forward.

Sarah, I adore your avatar.
