LTROI in Gay Horror Stories and Poems

[metoo]

LTROI in general and Eli specifically are fictitious, so we can be as shure as we want. So, at present, I'm sure of the view I expressed above

I respect your view metoo, and I can't really find fault with it, so I suppose that means we agree.

There are some niggling little details to make the entrenchment less that totally secure, such as being able to solve the Rubik's cube with such ease. This implies a power of intellect we wouldn't normally associate with a twelve year old.

A 12 year old who had lots of time to practice solving various puzzles wouldn't find it too hard to do the cube. And I suppose the same might apply to learning about people/relationships. So I guess that counters my argument that Eli has gained maturity rather than just knowledge from her long lifetime.
What Eli has learnt is a very narrow view of life and just enough to survive. Having maturity entails a broad view of life which she obviously can't and doesn't have. I suspect my previous views were therefore wrong.

Oh, don't say you were "wrong". Just say that as you've come to consider it a bit more, you've come to draw somewhat different conclusions. It's happened to me several times on this board, and I strongly suspect it still has a lot to teach me, $deity grant I be open and humble enough to hear its lessons.
