No LL we do not view it as bashing we view it as a continuance of your constant negative thoughts. You always focus on the downside. You always focus on potential negative outcome .For every positive event you feel the need to attach a negative to it. My favorite analogy is someone saying wow what a beautiful sunny day and then you add yes but it will rain again . Face it this is what you do which is provide continual negatively toned garble

I hope your parrot is doing well with the x tho :-)
