Dear Robin,
1) I am a single author and not a composite of authors
2)I did not state that you were psychotic and that you were going to hell, I
stated I thought you were mentally unbalanced.
3)I live my life holding myself to a standard of honesty (thanks for the pep
talk on the need for honesty anyway)
4)I found your post quite different in it's seeming intent which could be
summarized as a exhortation to honesty, and to state that honesty is your
creed. I detected an unstated subtext. It was a kind of an almost bullying
posturing which you was communicating in effect you better bring your A
game buddy boy because I'm going to hit that frigging honesty ball out of the
park.Where do I read this subtext you ask? At least in part right here You
have staked out a very strong position; should you have any doubts about
standing behind that position, then it might be more problematic in entering
into disputations with you. After all, you know all my tricks and ruses and
feints that enable me to cover up the fact that I don't have any faith that
the truth will get me through my argument.and right here,No, I
think innocence and sincerity are the way to pursue this matter, LordKnows.
And I am hoping you are ready to give it your all. This is like high class
trash talking before playing a game. This has me feeling shades of
yesteryear, I've seen this move before.
5) I have also seen you seem reasonable and temperate initially as you
skillfully absorb an initial hit before marshalling your forces for the
counter offensive . I'm a little rusty Robin it has been over 25 years since
I've seen your moves on the court, but it comes back as things play out here.
What am I referencing when I state this you ask, this Reasonable and
temperate? I would have thought those two qualities somewhat incompatible
with your description of my character and my motives and my mental health.
Not that you are not allowed to defend yourself, but do it out front and
don't package it inside a message which is supposed to be about honesty.
Honesty is transparency not hidden double messages. So you see Robin in your
exhortation to honesty you are showing the opposite,subtle manipulation.
5)I have to tell you Robin that this kind of bully boy posturing in the guise
of an exhortation to honesty is not an encouraging sign for real honesty,
which is at least your stated intention.
6)Robin in my last post I stated that I was still weighing the pros and cons
of entering into a dialogue with you, this last post has convinced me it is
not worth it.What would be the point when right here in the first post about
our potential dialogue you are up to your old tricks.
Be careful of the “I’m a wounded animal” type pattern RWC likes to fall back on
- to suck people in - typically when it’s he who’s on the losing end of a
particular situation.
I’ve also seen him use if ‘if only you could have felt it as I did' (often
implying some extraordinary bliss, grace or trophy state) to draw in the
(largely) TM-related folks here.
Old tactic, just a “New Fairfield”. :-)
