And now he’s back to posting over at FFL-1, calling himself a “victim” and trying mightily to convince himself he matters by saying if posts start appearing there again it’s all because of him, he trashed the group and now he’s going to resuscitate it, or something to that effect. And we’re all stalkers as well, just for good measure.
You just know he’s dying to post here and is seriously ticked that he can’t. And he’s also undoubtedly ticked we can’t see his zingers over at the Dunce_Closet as well. Keep it up Bar, it’s all good entertainment.

Penetrating and insightful, he told himself. And so superbly written! Fantastic touch at the end contrasting those people's tortured, miserable lives with his own serene existence in just a few choice phrases. Actually he doesn't have the insight of a flea, and he's a lousy writer, intensely self-conscious, mannered, and cliche-ridden. ---In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com <mailto:FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com>, <salsunshineiniowa@...> wrote : Oh what the hey, since we're quoting posts, let's just go right to the source: https://groups.yahoo.com/neo/groups/FFL-2/conversations/messages/3188 <https://groups.yahoo.com/neo/groups/FFL-2/conversations/messages/3188> His rant from that day contains this charming observation: I mean, they're responding to the bells by filing into the cathedral like lemmings, doing the genuflect dance, and then praying to him/her/it to forgive them for something they did last week while *they* were having fun. Then, their "sin guilt" taken care of, they pray to this same him/her/it to Make Things Different Than They Are. Not trusting the wisdom of this mental God-construct they're praying to, they ask him/her/it to cure their genital warts, to get them that promotion at work that they don't really deserve, to rain fire and brimstone on their neighbors who kept them up partying last night, and to save the unborn children while simultaneously killing those who would abort them in the most horrific way possible. Amen. Yes, Barry in his wisdom has decided that ALL the people visiting the magnificent cathedral of ND that day were all sub-humans (lemmings) who were going in for the express purpose of praying for their neighbors' deaths. Am I the only one who wonders how much energy it must take to constantly feel so smug and superior to everyone else? Not to mention being the greatest mind-reader who ever lived and conjuring up wild doomsday scenarios for his own entertainment. Tough job, but I guess *somebody's* got to do it. He then finishes up with this gem: Me, I'm just sitting here enjoying the blue skies and reasonably warm temperatures, the beauty of the Seine flowing by, and the glorious taste of my coffee. I'm appreciating the wonderful here-and-now-ness of Here And Now, and feeling remarkably happy. Yes, he certainly sounds "remarkably happy" now doesn't he?
