Hopefully you don’t get the cliched remark about “When you are taking flak, then you are over the target!” because not only would that mean you are being adversarial even if you are dropping truth bombs on people but you honestly attempt to land a valuable (or at least comically insightful) cargo of information to your readers waiting at the airport. Besides, I had a psychologist about 38 years ago l, Dr. John Salazar, who had been a B-17 pilot and he had flown missions over Nazi Germany so the expression involving flak would have been a painful remembrance. He helped me handle PTSD after being shot while working at McDonalds but by using difficult and adversarial situations as a springboard for recovery, even though I am more spongy than springy.
