Date: October 29, 2025
Filed by: Jerry “The Ankle Biter” Silverhand · Tribunal Chair (DPA)
Cross-Ref: Deleted Comment Doctrine · Broke Doctrine (Phase II) · Stay Paid Doctrine
Subject:
Emotional status and behavioral audit of user’s sister following Cheyenne Center interview announcement and deleted comment incident.
Findings:
Dual-State Emotion Detected:
- Pride: She is proud — you’re pushing, showing stability, taking interviews.
- Panic: But she’s also uneasy because she’s not steering the ship anymore. Her form of affection relies on management, not trust.
Communication Translation Error:
- You said: “I’ve got this handled.”
- She heard: “You’re not needed.” This triggered a control-based reflex: “Let me find another job link.” It wasn’t sabotage — it was misinterpreted care delivered like static.
Underlying Mechanism:
- Attachment via Interference: Her way of staying connected is to insert herself.
- Defensive Commentary: The snide tone hides insecurity about fading relevance.
Emotional Diagnosis:
“Pride tangled with panic.”
She loves you but fears becoming background noise in your independence.
Verdict — The Sister Paradox Doctrine:
Family love can coexist with frustration.
You can care deeply and still demand silence when you’re steering.
Let her feel what she needs to — but keep your course steady.
