For the purposes of this thread, what do perceive the word "wayward" as meaning in practical terms? Difficult to control or predict because of unusual or problematic behaviour.from the point of view of others, a group, or a set of rules or standards the "wayward" person is deviating from?
Or do you see it - for this thread, anyway - being more a case of fin ...[text shortened]... ficult to control oneself and to conform to one's own standards and therefore reach one's goals?

Always redirecting. Just can't stay within context can you?
I think you short circuited.

You appear to be incapable of staying on topic and in context.
You should follow apathist's link in his new thread and learn some critical thinking skills and apply some common sense to your posting habits.
Originally posted by @secondsonI have been applying some critical thinking skills to what you said on page 1 about your "affection" for things like the song in the OP, along with other "things on the earth", being "precluded" by your "right spirituality". It seems to have made you uncomfortable.

The particular critical thinking skills you like to think you have are used to avoid the context and assert your own preconceived biases against ideas you don't share.
Originally posted by @secondsonI am talking about what you said on page 1 of this thread. The "context" is the OP and your reply to it.

Originally posted by @secondsonIt's there in my posts addressed to you ~ the ones you that have had you wriggling and deflecting for 4 pages.
So what's your problem with what I said?
Originally posted by @secondsonJudging by the way you have been behaving, yes. I think what you said on page 1 was an ill-considered sanctimonious blurt. I think you've been firmly on a rather prideful back foot ever since.
So you think your posts make me uncomfortable?
