There are many things that can bring a smile to ones face. thank goodness for that.

I’m not sure that responding to you is arrogance though I enjoy the debate. It’s rather that if you will insist on making generalisations or assumptions including about me then I think it’s ok to respond. So if you tell me I know nothing about aged care don’t be surprised if I give you a bit of missing data. That’s not arrogance or insecurity - and the only way it could be interpreted that way is if you prefer females to be silent or stupid or both

I heard a beautiful description the other day from a man who works with abusive men. He described it thus

women don’t seem to understand that men have buttons all over them. Lots of them. women have a knack of pushing them. when they do that it sets off a response. If they push one button it causes the hand to come up in a punching motion that can somehow connect with a women’s face. Other buttons can lead to the hands springing into a strangling motion. Yet others activate the legs or the mouth.

it suddenly made so much sense. So sorry if I accidentally from a distance pressed a button. I have noticed that there are others on this board who have also pressed buttons but I just won’t shut up will I?

anyway by now the tone of the thread is somewhat sullied so have a good night all.

A typical feminine educated response. This is not a slight on women but when the use of protection by insulting my treatment towards women is raised I understand why you are as you are. I have never or will never disrespect a woman’s views or arguments. I may at times be cynical but always respect the views when centred on the subject on not on the person.
For your and Justis knowledge, I have had 40 years association with aged care and the increasing concerns with dementia. Just a bit before google.
i have seen all the reports, trials, actions and enquires I wish to add. I am currently studying to ascertain the preventive measures in dealing with Alzheimer’s but have to start somewhere other than following the same old path as the current introduction by the inquiry has not nor will not work in the current environment.

i am not a professor or a linguist. What I am is a person who cannot tolerate those who appear to know it all without exposure. I am sorry if I have offended anyone but I really don’t care as I am gauging every discussion.
