I suggest we just leave the man alone. We are well rid of him on this forum.

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@...> mailto: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?

He's still driven to spend much of his precious Paris time writing long, insulting, dishonest screeds about us. ---In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com mailto:FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, <salsunshineiniowa@...> mailto:salsunshineiniowa@... wrote : I remember that post. Classic. It's nothing short of amazing how many stupid people Barry encounters. It's almost as if...oh, never mind. Sal Let's see, as I recall, last time Barry was in Paris, he was in the garden behind Notre Dame Cathedral and riffing at how stupid the people were, that were inside the Cathedral. Then he went to one of his favorite cafes, and riffed on how stupid Americans are. I wonder if he's updated his hate list, or he's riffing on the same 'ol targets in the City of Love. Inquiring minds, and all that. (-: ---In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com mailto:FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, <noozguru@...> mailto:noozguru@... wrote : Vacation time.

It appears conversation is falling off over there. FFL is hardly a beehive of activity but the site is at 600 posts while the Water Closet is a dim 149. Come on boys, get going or we'll think you have nothing to say. Oh yeah, you don't have anything to say, or you've said it all before, or you need a new audience (which you can't have 'cause you are afraid to open your doors) or you're finding posting to the same four walls uninspiring.
