I think we often see ourselves reflected back at us. Perhaps what we percieve as deleusional and insincere just is how we are rather than the way they are.
My point was that much of the professed "love" between listers is/was delusional and/or insincere, and that it vanishes when the rubber hits the road. So, I say ... save your love for your families and your significant others, and for those JMDLers you really do get to know well in the flesh and come to love. Then, profess that love off-list, where the sentiment really means something, and is not for public show.
I undertsand your positon. i have always had a hard time believing anyone was sincere. I een used tot hink my love of 22 years must be a secret serial killer or some other type of sicko because otherwise what was he doing with me?
i ahev learned otherwise of ocurse both abouthim and about other people.
