Personal vs. Market Values

I don't take it that personally, but I also don't understand why so many assume liberties with the spelling of a name that only has 4 letters.

He said it was a mistake so he wasn't assuming liberties. If it was a driver's license or an airline ticket, that's another story. This is an entertainment forum. I don't really care how someone spells my name here.

In point of fact, it was 12 characters making the mistake far easier to make. The concentration on only 4 of those characters, the depth of sensitivity to them, the extreme reluctance to put them into any kind of context & then again confirmed by not addressing my explanation other posters agreed with, the then sudden disinterest in the original question governing this thread & then the supplementary question asked about it in great detail & answered in great detail, make a splendid segway to my original point made in the answer to the original question.

Namely, sellers & others on AG have immense & intense emotional motivations they act on (the personal values inquired about) in often unpredictable ways. These affect all perception of market values which is in turn affected by them. The subjectivity of them can easily cause the abandonment of positions they strongly held previously, often in knowing ways. It makes al negotiation far more difficult of course, but also extends to any communication taking place. The personal (old, unresolved unconscious hurts) & the business at hand (or the market) get all mixed up & the audio being discussed too often gets distorted/left behind. It bleeds over into every area & only gets resolved to the extent that we become eager & courageous enough to own our deepest stuff & positively act on it.

The reasonableness pleaded for in the original question becomes something else as the subjectivity also bemoaned takes center stage.

No real worries.

Instead of talking about truffle oil as a metaphor maybe I should have used gin.
