To be a little more specific, if I may: Curtis pretended to be "comfortable" with who he was, as Barry puts it. But that was a carefully constructed facade, and it took very little in the way of chipping to expose the real Curtis underneath. Anyone who ever tangled with Curtis discovered this.
Curtis was "comfortable" with who he was as long as he didn't feel challenged. When he was feeling challenged, it was a very different story: his entire being became totally focused on defending himself and annihilating his challenger, using whatever means he could, no matter how duplicitous, including flat-out lying. Curtis was not a nice guy, and while he fooled quite a few people, I was hardly the only person on FFL to see through his act. ---In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, <no_re...@yahoogroups.com> wrote: I like Curtis, but I found him to be emotionally duplicitous - that means acting one way, while feeling another. Its a gut thing, Barry, so I cannot explain it further. Except to say that Curtis is not unique in that regard, and I show no prejudice, personally, towards him, as I avoid all of those who are ignorant of their true natures, equally. >
