vulnerable  people ---  we will do well and be well if  we

true concern for and interest in  promoting  both personal

people, etc?

their  criticisms?  Can the objectors accurately  describe
how  their victims perceive the relationships between them
---   to  the  satisfaction  of  those  people  whom  they
criticize?
