Have you noticed, Vaj, that (as far as I've been able to tell) zero attempts to deal with the actual *content* of the things LordKnows posted about Sunnyside? The suicide attempts, the "confrontations" that resulted in psychic distress or trauma to those they were aimed at? It's as if there is a total silence among the Robin Groupies about this. Instead, they've been focusing on either "Bu..bu...but he's *changed*," or on playing Shoot The Messenger. I find this behavior in the present almost scarier than LK's tales of the past. *Especially* with regard to Ann, who after all is in the fairly unique position of being able to dispute LK's claims, were they false. The fact that she hasn't seems to reinforce them as true. The fact that she seems to be focusing on doing anything she possibly can to suck up to Robin and get him to notice and interact with her again in the present, 25 years later, is even scarier. The "baggage" created as a result of "investing" in a charismatic naricssist is heavy, and dangerous. Is it *really* that hard for people to say, "I was wrong?"
