This is exactly what I meant by "mutual ass-kissing relationship." Barry employs his "tender touch" with a view to getting you on his side, because he needs allies; and you fall for it like a ton of bricks, carefully overlooking his disgraceful "odd stuff" in gratitude for his "tenderness." I overlooked this in my earlier response: > Judy, this is an actual situation where a lawsuit could be started, > and you might find yourself spending a bit of dough just to answer the > court documents served to get your explanation of your words here. > Can you afford such a fight? Not only are you threatening John with a lawsuit, you're threatening *me* because I honestly told you what I think--in response to *your request*-- rather than fawning over you like Barry does. I'm taking back even my backhanded compliment. You're a 100 percent fuckhead. You expose yourself not to get honest reactions but to get points for doing so and to solicit reassurance that you're really just a terrific fellow. Oh, yeah, and then there's this: > Why such a forthright dumping of me when so > clearly I was trying to give John a face saving "out?" Note, first, the injured response to my having answered *your questions* honestly. You didn't want honest reactions; you wanted to have your ass kissed. Second, it was John who gave *you* a face-saving out by suggesting you may have misremembered the context of what you claim Charlie said. And instead of taking the hint, you appropriate the out John offered and pretend it was your idea. Sorry, but I have to conclude you're just as much a phony as Barry is.
