I wasn't trying to 'punish' you. LOL I was trying to make things clear, I said a thousand times.

That's a downright lie. Your reading ability must be seriously impaired. I clearly stated that I did NOT think he had NPD. My agreement with Barry, was about the general direction of the nature of his enlightenment. Only, when I made this general agreement in the introduction, you all flared up and stopped thinking, and haven't started ever since. > I didn't call you a liar in the post commenting on your > agreement with Barry, BTW.

Well, in private email, you did agree, when I was so astonished how angry you were. You actually admitted it. Why do you feel the need to uphold this public farce? I think that even your friends can see this. When I was your friend, I knew that you had an obsession with Barry. It's so obvious. > > I might not have done that, and not returned here, > > if you wouldn't have accused me falsely in the first place! > > Oh, that's even funnier.

Oh, come on, you are spending here day in and day out, obsessing since decades over Barry, and over Robin in another way, digging up one old post after the other, and if I comment on the obvious mistake, it's infantile? Now, who is the master of in-adverted irony? Ever looked into a mirror? Who started linking to old posts? > > I have no problem to say sorry if I am wrong, as I was when > > made a wrong attribution to Dr. D post last time I was here, > > http://groups.yahoo.com/group/FairfieldLife/message/339572 > > You didn't have any choice.

I made a mistake, and when I realized it, I admitted it. That can happen. It's possible to make a wrong attribution. It's only wrong to not admit it.See how you are trying to capitalize on it even now? how childish. > As Ann said at the time, "Your posts just scream, 'I am > acting like a child because I can't help myself.'" I'd > say she hit the bullseye with that characterization. Dr D found out and cleared it up. I don't take Ann serious in any way, most of the time she is really just fooling around, just ganging up behind you. No need to take this characterization serious in any way. > You disappeared for months after finally, finally > acknowledging your mistake. Not surprising, considering > how badly you had embarrassed yourself. Look, I disappeared, but not *because* of that. Btw. it's nothing you are involved in. Usually I disappear, because I have jobs to do, and I want to be able to focus on them with undivided attention. Or because I go abroad. I also used to disappear regularly before, when we were still, according to your own words, 'a mutual agreement party'. That mistake happened, because I couldn't follow up things with my full attention, being quite busy. So I said sorry for a mistake, and for me that's fine, and so it was for Jim. But for you, you obviously have problems to say sorry, or acknowledge mistakes. You also have a problem to forgive. Your nature is obsessive. You think you are infallible, while it's clear you make many mistakes. And that combination is much worse. > But that's the only time I can remember that you > acknowledged a mistake, and you've made scores of them. I surely made more, and I surely also acknowledged them.
