Re: [FairfieldLife] Re: Barry, the somnambulist
He intrudes unpleasantly, and sometimes a stick is all the bear understands. He referred to Seraphita as an idiot, as I recall. Out of the blue. Your standards for social interaction, seem a lot lower than mine, and 99% of the active participants here. The other point is that wounded bear, or not, Barry is an adult in his 70's, and not the injured manchild you make him out to be. The rest of us must live in the world, too, and if someone that age, who should damned well know better, is behaving in a mean and childish way, I will let them know. No problem. ---In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, sharelong60@... wrote : Fleetwood, simply support the people being attacked and ignore the attacker.

Re: [FairfieldLife] Re: Barry, the somnambulist
Richard, Yes, he is desperate for attention to point of lying about what others say or didn't say. He's been doing this for years so that he can push other people's buttons. It's his way of convincing himself that he owns this forum. It's also his idea of entertainment. Before, Judy was the butt of his manipulations. Now, he's testing out who can be his next victim. ---In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, punditster@... wrote : On 11/20/2014 5:05 PM, jr_esq wrote: I think Barry is hallucinating most of the time.
