Yesterday I made three -- count them, three -- posts about the somewhat
obsessive nature of a few FFLers. In the first two posts, I used a
somewhat objective measure (the Yahoo Groups Search Engine) to document
the obsession; in the third, I theorized as to what the cause of this
obsession might be. Then I just went about my day, neither mentioning
(nor, truth be told, thinking about) any of these people again.
From the side of the obsessives I mentioned (and a few I didn't
mention), my three posts seem to have provoked a number of reactive,
defensive, and above all button-pushed posts. How many?
31, by my count.
In terms of making my point about obsession, I think I can safely rest
my case. Do less, accomplish more. :-)
The guy who claims to be enlightened and thus all line on water and
all is the clear winner of the How Pushed Were My Buttons Contest, at 11
posts, followed by the person who claims she isn't obsessed with Barry
at all, at 7 posts.
They never learn that when someone calls them obsessive, the way to
rebut or disprove this is NOT to demonstrate exactly how obsessed they
are.
