Perhaps this is the crux of the problem and one to which you Judy contribute a huge amount. Meaning this business about Robin being, as you say below, not average in many specific respects. The problem is that when a person is labeled not average by some people, and by not average it is obviously meant above average, then other people almost automatically expect above average behavior from that not average person. You can't have it both ways Judy. You can't call someone above average and then expect others not to hold that person to an above average standard of behavior. Well, obviously you can do this. But most people won't buy the inherent contradiction of such thinking.

I'm not sure "average human being" really means anything. But I agreed with you several posts back that Robin wasn't "average" in many specific respects. Why that would suggest to you some kind of personality disorder, in the absence of any evidence of same, is peculiar, to say the least. > If I am full of 'pure malicious vengefulness' I need some > help here guys. I think what you need to do is stop saying things that "look like" (quoting myself) they're maliciously vengeful. (It's odd how you changed what I said into your being "full of pure malicious vengefulness.") I don't think you should require any help to do that. > I mean, I understand the emotion of revenge, but mere pure malicious > venefulness is a bit out of my territory, so I need advice.
