What a week on FFL Robin, your posts as always sing a dynamic tune of coherent reality. I have read each one enjoyably, happily traveling along to wherever they lead, knowing that I will never be led astray logically. Thanks!
And Barry, I feel sorry for Obba she is an insightful, sweet and refreshing presence here, and what you said to her was cruel, and hateful. As much as I have openly insulted you, I have been very reluctant to apply the label sadist to you. Sadism is an incomprehensible psychological reality for me; that someone could get so far away from the pure flame within themselves, that they would *relish* hurting someone sweet and innocent. This wasn't the garden variety FFL pissing contest, or tit for tat that I have participated in. This was different, and really ugly. I am not bringing it up to cast aspersions on you Barry. It goes much deeper than that. This sickens me and saddens me. I must confess that sometimes when I have responded to you, I see in my mind's eye a small frightened boy, eight or nine years old (?), within you. I am not making fun of you Barry, and this is not a gleeful perception of mine. I see your fragility, pain and rejection in that young child, and I hope you see it and deal with it too, in a healthy and liberating way. But you haven't yet. Hurting others deliberately who are innocent of anything other than befriending you as Obba was doing, is a really sub-human way to act. Your family would be ashamed of you. Mean people suck.
