 It's really worth your 18 minutes, if you didn't. It is about 
  memories, and how they can be edited, both by ourselves, 
  and by others. 
 
 Isn't that Judy's Whole Act -- trying to edit memories?
 

 Actually, no, no more than anyone else expressing their opinion.
 Barry's doing the same thing in this post. He really thinks readers
 here are saps, doesn't he?
 
 I just wrote a bunch of shit today because I felt happy and 
  felt like writing. If any of you enjoyed the posts I made, and 
  one or more of them lifted your spirits, that's just gravy.

 But Judy doesn't want you to remember them as lifting your 
  spirits. She wants you to remember the way SHE sees them, 
  as a response to HER, and as worthy only of what SHE gives 
  them, scorn and derision.
 

 Barry's getting very, VERY confused as to which posts of his I
 commented on, and why. HINT: It wasn't any of the posts he
 refers to above.
 

 Remember now which ones they were, Barry?
 

 Barry edits his own memories such that he doesn't
 remember that virtually everything he criticizes others
 for doing is stuff that he himself does routinely.
 

  By now some of you must have figured out the formula. 
  - First, pretend to be the authority in matters such as this,
  whatever this may be this time. 
  - Second, pretend to know what the person you're ragging 
  on was thinking and feeling as they wrote whatever she's 
  ragging on.  
  - Third, pretend that everyone already agrees with you. 

 Do this enough times, and science tells us that some of the 
  weak-willed ones *will* agree with you.
 

 Yup, that's what Barry's hoping when he does what he
 attributes to me above. He doesn't just accuse his critics
 of doing things he has done, he accuses them of doing
 what he's doing as he makes his accusations. It's really
 quite remarkable. When he goes on one of these rants,
 he is actually describing himself and just changing the
 names and pronouns. And he doesn't realize it.
 

 That's how little self-knowledge he has.
 

 The three items he lists above are not only the formula
 he uses, they're the formula he's using to tell you what

When engaged in one of these self-examination processes, remember that a 
clear conscience is frequently symptomatic of a flawed memory.
