It's interesting to read this bearing in mind how attached Barry is to defeating his own enemies. The majority of his posts here are devoted to it (including this one). But he doesn't seem to realize that in this regard, he's no different than anyone else here. Except that he does it *at least* as much as anybody else.

In politics, this same Judo Theory Of Everything explains (at least to me) the whole sad story of revolution/counterrevolution over the ages. Think the Russian Revolution. Everybody was so fixated on pushing *against* the czars that when they went away, they suddenly found themselves in the position of having nothing else to push against.

They were so obsessive about what they were *against* that they'd never put any thought into what they were *for*. Therefore, when their enemy was withdrawn from them, they had no idea what to do. So they made up *new* enemies, from within their own ranks, and created a *new* revolution against *them*. This scenario has repeated itself over and over and over throughout the centuries.

There are still people who cannot go a month without lashing out *against* someone like Curtis or Vaj or Sally Sunshine or Ruth or others who gave up on this place as a waste of their valuable time long ago. Since Robin gave up on this place on April 8, Advanced Search shows 93 posts from Barry that mention him.

It *can't* be that the folks who rag on him non-stop (or who emerged from the woodwork like roaches just so that they could rag on him again) Hey, Bob, Barry called you a roach! That couldn't mean he's pushing against you, could it? can't think of anything else to do. That would be *embarrassing* for them, and we all know that their whole lives revolve around micromanaging their images to pretend that they're *never* embarrassed by their own behavior. :-) How often does Barry admit to being embarrassed by his own behavior? Gee, I can't think of a single instance. Anybody? Anyway, that's my theory, which is mine. You may agree with it, or disagree with it, and -- either way -- I don't really give a fuck. As much as it may pain those who focus on me non-stop may like to believe it, Oops oops oops, incomplete edit. Feeling a little unbalanced there, are ya, Barry? NOTHING they write affects me terribly much. None of the people doing the writing are *interesting* enough for me to pay much attention to what they write, or give much more thought than this cafe rap as to WHY they write it. Hard to believe given how often Barry attacks them in his cafe raps. I just parse their actions through my Judo Theory, and that pretty much explains everything about them I or anyone else ever needed to know. YMMV. If it does, you may feel free to expound upon *your* explanations for why people who seem to dislike one person so intensely that they spend most of their online writing time trying to get him or silence him become so panicky when he decides to go...uh...silent. Feel free to suggest your alternative theories. My explanation is that this happens only in Barry's imagination. (Although Robin leaving does seem to have thrown him for quite a loop, such that he began compulsively to take out his rage at Robin by attacking *me*).
