Steve, I'm glad you're feeling pretty healthy.

Share, evidently you do have a different take on it. I'm looking at my experiences day in and day out, and I'm feeling pretty healthy. What you may see as ganging up, may be for other people, just sort of laughing at how ridiculous someone else can be. At this point, I'm not sure how serious anyone can take Barry.

A good question Share. Here's the short answer. There is a time for compassion to be shown, and a time to address BS head on. I am bothered by the continual mis-perceptions Barry throws out here, and feel compelled to address them. Pretty much as simple as that. That, and the fact that I think he is mean person, with no self awareness in that regard. ---In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, <sharelong60@...> wrote : Steve and Fleetwood, if you really think this way, then why not show some compassion?

My conclusion too, Steve. He sounds very disturbed, in the paragraph below. ---In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, <steve.sundur@...> wrote : or possibly that something is seriously broken in your life.
