	An "enactment" is an unconscious form of communication, but does
not necessarily imply intentionality. To say that someone is "trying" to
communicate means that there is a latent or implicit message within a
person's ideas and actions. It is our task to decipher what was being
"said."

If your only response to my post is to call me a "troll," you are the
one who 
needs a cautionary "Please." I'm not being abusive and there's no reason
you 
should be either.

My concern is not to cause trouble but to elicit some regard for that
unusual 
trope. The surrounding text, contrary to your statement, does not
clarify the 
trope, it merely submerges it in exposition. 

To say that the "acting out" of unconscious content is equivalent to an 
intentional communication is contradictory. I was hoping someone might
address 
that; instead, my interlocutor is all-too willing to elide the
contradiction. So 
be it.
