Standard practice? You have got to be kidding. I have never seen it before. I. Think. It. Is. Very. Bad. Writing. It's quite fun watching you being a punching bag for everyone else and lamely trying to claim victory. As for the testosterone pills, I don't need them. Just ask my girlfriend.

As for the "weird punctuation," you must not get around the Web a lot; it's pretty much standard practice these days for bloggers and commenters when they want to say something emphatically. Poor Richard has been exceedingly frustrated that he can't get me to respond to his trolling (but as I keep saying, if you'd like me to give you a detailed refutation of anything he says about me, just ask). If Share "stood up to" me, it must have been awfully feebly, because I didn't notice. Xeno's making a total ass of himself, not for the first time. And Barry? He's repeatedly shot himself in the foot trying to "get" me over the past few days. Trouble is, he doesn't have any ammunition except lies, and for some reason it never dawns on him that his lies are easily disposed of. I guess you've been reading only his posts and not my responses. Want to try again? Feste fumphs: Hey auth, what's with the weird punctuation? Doesn't. Make. Any. Sense. I can only conclude that you have cracked under the recent pressure. First, Share stands up to you. Then Richard J. Williams kicks your ass all over the park, without much reply from you, and then Xeno and Barry put the boot in, just to make sure you don't get up. Not a good week for you on this board, is it? ---In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, <authfriend@...> wrote: Feste, You. Do. Not. Have. A. Clue.

Authfriend practices a kind of knee-jerk negativity that produces crude, nasty attacks. In respect of Share (and Barry), she is All Nasty, All the Time. It doesn't matter what these two write; the response is always the same. Any excuse to belittle, mock, and insult -- that's authfriend's MO. With Emily, it's a little different at first. It starts with the pretense that she doesn't understand or is trying to understand something that Share wrote. No pretense. I *am* trying to understand by asking her to explain what she is saying or thinking or feeling when she says it. Sometimes I am asking her to provide a larger context for her comments because a lot of what she says doesn't make sense to me. I've stated that many, many, times. Objectively, human behavior does interest me, no doubt, and I truly am a sincerely curious sort of person. Emily likes to sound reasonable and sincere, carefully trying to disguise her hostility. I am *sounding* that way because I always give everyone the benefit of the doubt and I am often reasonable and usually sincere, albeit, sometimes within a context or a writing style that you don't seem to pick up on, given this statement of yours. I am not a hostile person and I don't hold onto or maintain hostility on this forum towards anyone ever, really. If I did, I wouldn't stay here. I have certain triggers - Share's mean streak is one of them, when it pops up. I respond to what shows up in the moment, or as a result of watching the trajectory of a conversation unfold. I try to keep a larger picture in mind almost always, even as I may descend into the energy and feeling of a thread as it resonates within me. I may not always succeed in the heat of the moment (in keeping the larger picture at the forefront), but behind the scenes, in my own life, I always go through a process of "lessons learned," if you will. I am a human being and I *believe* in the concepts of accountability and humility, for example. This prepares the ground. It's a set up. Then when Share responds, Emily declares the response to be inadequate or shocking, and proceeds to plunge the knife in and twist it as much as she can. Jesus Christ Feste, I have been shocked by Share on many occasions, it's true, and she has deferred and refused to take accountability for her words, or even explain them, on even more occasions. I have also apologized more times and copped to my own actions more than many here and I have stated many times that I always check what I might say to others against my self - I am not a saint nor do I pretend to be. Share has a record of "zero" on that front. I hold no animosity towards her; I am just objectively stating what I have noticed from her posts here. To attribute these kinds of violent images to me says a lot about you, not me. Curiously, Share, do you agree with what Feste says here about me? Is this how you have experienced me on this forum?
