I would like to point out that in the last two posts that I've seen you and Brian cross words on in *his* journal, you have expressed a level of unpleasantness you would not brook in your own.
Had it been me, I myself would have gotten somewhat defensive at your first response to him, and certainly at the suggestion I had made no progress at all in 5 years.
And yes, he has changed, even if it is not apparent in his LJ. Part of the issue is that he posts about these things when he is feeling unsettled or confused, and less likely to be relying on new behaviors than old, ingrained ones. Or when other stresses are occurring.
