It appears that you have taken it upon yourself to decide for the
entire list, including those teeming and uncounted millions who actually
enjoy reading my posts, and have said so, what all listmembers are now to do.
There is no rational basis for you to assume or conclude that you
have even the personal appeal or influence, let alone the power, to tell
anyone else on the list what he or she should or should not do, or what it
is time for anyone else, besides yourself, to do or not to do. Plenty of
IRRATIONAL bases for such assumptions and conclusions, of course, but no
rational ones. If you REALLY thought it was time to ignore me, then WHY
didn't YOU? I think what you actually believed was that it was time for you
to show everybody how jealous you are of me, which you just did, even
though, IMO, you likely didn't mean to, and that, as egocentric as I am
(and, boy, oh, boy, am I egocentric), you are even MORE egocentric than THAT.
Only someone even MORE egocentric than I am, someone you might
characterize as "egotistical," would believe that because HE wants the list
to ignore me, the rest of the list should/will want to ignore me, too. I
mean, you have to think you're the absolute center of the universe to
believe something like: "If I see it this way, then everybody else should
damned well see it the same way, too."
Either that, or you believe you can read everybody's mind.
I offer these two things which you might want to consider:
1. How would you like it if some listmember to whom you had never
done or said anything, decided, for his or her own narrow, subjective,
personal, arbitrary, and irrational reasons, to tell the list to ignore YOU?
2. Had you not made this post, I would not have been able to respond
to it.
Bob
Thinking clearly and logically is hard. If it were easy, everyone would do it.
OK
