You too. I recently saw the video of you yelling out to them outside the Chicago Org. Impressive. Thank you.

Ugh. I have no faith in the emeter. It reads on everything from the 7:00 news to Harry Potter. I've been out for decades and when I was in we didn't use the term in that colloquial way in the 80s, so to be quite honest, whether you or Veda or anyone else uses the term, it means nothing to me and IMHO, emotional "charge" doesn't mean much of anything anyway.

-snip-

As far as I know, "emotionally charged," as a phrase, has no relationship to the e-meter. "Charged," in this usage, means intense, impassioned, as in "an emotionally charged speech"; fraught with emotion, as in "the charged atmosphere of the room"; capable of producing violent emotion, etc.

You're right. I think it's one of those phrases that originated with the emeter though, like "button" became colloquial after TRs. I made the (unfortunate) association.

palehorse, seeing as you started here only months ago, have a handful of posts relatively speaking, I'd say you're holding up pretty well.

Carry on. I like you.

aw, thanks!
