You seem to be gaslighting yourself at this point, over me asking a question.
You've been told multiple times, it simply wasn't a question, it was an insinuation.
The rest of your post for the most part illustrates that you have no idea what I'm otherwise getting at.
HA HA HA. You're very hard headed.
I can't really respond further than repeating that you're confused over my intent, and continuing to do so will have me called on for being redundant.
The thread is how she made borscht for her pregnant sister in law. Or it was supposed to be. It's something else now.
Now why not let Delora answer her own question?
She responded to it, and it's all she's been addressing since she responded to it.
The question wasn't answered.
She answered your question first thing.
She gave an answer, but it didn't answer the question: "So you're willing to lie to her so she feels better, but not others?"
Okay, but if you know English, what you've done is you've implied that she lied to her sister in law.
1) "So you're willing to lie to her so she feels better" = Insinuated statement
2) "but not others ?" = Gaslit question.
Part 1 is not a question.
What you've done is sparked a false statement against Delora which can have real world effects such as people eating your bullshit like buddy over there nodding along with what they think you uncovered. It gets worse when whole groups adopt the fabricated statement.
You did not ask "Would you be willing to lie so she feels better" See there's a difference. You also suggest a white lie is at play here, where there hasn't been. And who knows, you might even get the "yes" you're fishing for.
One might argue the crystals offer a placebo effect, and while one can argue the crystals themselves aren't healing, a placebo effect is known to have real healing results in the medical fields. If the lady feels like the crystals give her power, she'll have that extra wave, or find it in her to summon some courage.
She's gone as far to say that she'd even wear a fish on her head over this if it's what she wanted, which has prompted me to ask why she does not entertain what she sees as delusions for others when otherwise so willing to do this for her over crystals.
Seriously this isn't as complicated and weird as you're making this out to be.
Though I wouldn't recommend it, being someone's doormat for their amusement, such as using a fish for attire, doesn't equate to telling fibs.
An atheist can pick up and hand someone a Bible if they did so for various reasons, that doesn't mean the atheist is telling a lie.
