Dr.D., It took a reply or two before your true intent was recognized, but I understand your point about not tolerating any self-denigrating comments, no matter how small. I learned from experience that is one of the most effective ways to stop the negative self-talk that leads to continued low self-esteem. A lot of people with esteem issues masquerade their feelings as self-deprecating humour, and as long as we are allowed to say things like that, we continue to feed the low-self-esteem demon. I have a very hard line with everyone I know. I don't tolerate comments like that. I'm with you on that. Good job on standing by your principles.
