self imposed suspencion of his/her own credibility Explanation: I think this might sound better. Though the spanish style seems rather convoluted. The his/her is my own addition that might fit in this constext. Luis |

suspension of credit Explanation: It sounds to me like the business comparison is intended. Credit is extended on the basis of belief in the other party's fulfillment of word or obligation. "Suspending credit" here sounds like someone deciding not to agree any more; they no longer have certitude, they have to make an effort to will and understand--no more free ride for what (or who) they used to believe in. AGreed that it's BS. PB |
