Share, I did not listen to the Hammond event. I have been reading Curtis' reports. I am basically ignoring Hammond because I do not think he is all there. Richard however is pointlessly prolonging this thing about Barry, already long past. Like Barry has expressed, I think Richard has sucked you into his world and that you do not have sufficient discrimination to see what is happening. Barry can be mean, no doubt of that, but Richard is wallowing in it in a very unhealthy way. FFL is for adults but not an 'adult site' in the way that term is normally pejoratively used and Richard is trying to skew the sense of what goes on here, which you seem to think is funny because you are air-headed in a good natured, but unperceptive way. I think of Richard as strangely devious. Barry is normally absolutely direct. I would much rather deal with Mr. Enlightened Flanegin than Richard because he is also direct in his clumsy and sometimes dismissive way. The only time I have seen you really sharpen up was when when you got in a huff over things Judy said to you and you responded like a normal human being. Your Pollyanna* act is hard to take sometimes.
*'Pollyanna is a best-selling 1913 novel by Eleanor H. Porter. The title character is named Pollyanna Whittier, a young orphan who goes to live in Beldingsville, Vermont, with her wealthy but stern and cold spinster Aunt Polly, who does not want to take in Pollyanna, but feels it is her duty to her late sister. Pollyanna's philosophy of life centers on what she calls "The Glad Game," an optimistic attitude she learned from her father. The game consists of finding something to be glad about in every situation. It originated in an incident one Christmas when Pollyanna, who was hoping for a doll in the missionary barrel, found only a pair of crutches inside. Making the game up on the spot, Pollyanna's father taught her to look at the good side of things—in this case, to be glad about the crutches because "we didn't need to use them!"' 'With this philosophy, and her own sunny personality and sincere, sympathetic soul, Pollyanna brings so much gladness to her aunt's dispirited New England town that she transforms it into a pleasant place to live. The Glad Game shields her from her aunt's stern attitude: when Aunt Polly puts her in a stuffy attic room without carpets or pictures, she exults at the beautiful view from the high window; when she tries to "punish" her niece for being late to dinner by sentencing her to a meal of bread and milk in the kitchen with the servant Nancy, Pollyanna thanks her rapturously because she likes bread and milk, and she likes Nancy.' As a result, it seems like you are escaping and avoiding when people like Barry are actually trying to connect with you in a positive way. I think you are the only one here where Barry has made a real attempt to genuinely break through that Pollyanna shell you project. I almost think it frustrates him. It's like at a carnival where you throw a ball, or some rings at a target and it is rigged so almost always, the ball bounces back or the ring misses and the prize is lost. Things thrown your way bounce off, but always with the feeling of superficial and inconsequential connection, as if you are not really there as an intelligence that apprehends and ascertains. Perhaps that is why you and Richard have linked up, because Richard does not seem to connect with anyone in a legitimate way. I sort of see why the mean girls club ragged on you so much. Seeing the good in everything is not the same as acting as if everything is good and of no consequential import. Seeing the good in everything is seeing and understanding how the universe flows and how those flows fit together, and sometimes that means seeing into the heart of darkness, and the places in our own mind we would rather not visit. But if we visit them consciously, we eventually sail past them into still, imperturbable waters. Why not do the conversation with Richard in private where it is less likely to endanger FFL?

That way, Barry could post all the porn he wanted to -pornographic text messages, slang words for masturbation,pirated photos of rodents humping, photo-shopped images oftransvestites, and even cartoons of Lord Buddha with gender biascaptions using the "c" word. I don't know what his problem is, he is after all the "UncleTantra" and the "TurquoiseBee." Cognitive dissonance I guess. Now he's trying to prove he's an offended prude andporn-free - as if he has never posted anything that wouldoffend. Which is kind of weird, seeing as how seven FFL membersjust quit the group because of his smutty language. Gofigure. But, you need to watch out - the lasttime Barry joked and chatted with a female on FFL,he reported her to Interpol and the Dutch police.Obviously he is monitoring our conversations. > TurquoiseB wrote: > Share, I'm going to takethe trouble to explain something to youthat it is possible you don'tunderstand, being a relative newcomer toFairfield Life. Richard'spost to Rick saying that FFL is a pornsite was *not* a joke, and *not*friendly, given events in the past. Inthat past, a disgruntled FFL poster,angered over something petty, stalkedoff in a snit and then posted somequestionable sexually-explicit photosand/or text to FFL himself, and thenwent to Yahoo Administrators to "blowthe whistle" and get them to declare FFLan "Adult Only" site. As Iunderstand it, Rick and Alex had to jumpthrough hoops to get Yahoo to understandthat this was an exercise incyberterrorism by this disgruntledasshole, and allow FFL to remain at itscurrent status. Richard made his postfully aware of this history, and thusfully aware of what he was trying toaccomplish by calling FFL a "pornsite." If you didn't knowthis, it might have been possible foryou to see Richard's actions as ajoke. Now that you do, I don't see howyou possibly can. He was attempting touse the charge that FFL was a pornsite to possibly get the site eithertaken down or moved to a much moreprohibitive status. He was being asmuch of a cyberterrorist as theoriginal asshole was. #yiv4420477149 #yiv4420477149 -- #yiv4420477149ygrp-mkp {border:1px solid #d8d8d8;font-family:Arial;margin:10px 0;padding:0
